How this calculator works
Vehicle stamp duty is charged by each state and territory revenue office as a percentage (or sliding scale) of a vehicle's market value or purchase price when it is registered or transferred. Enter the vehicle's dutiable value and your state's applicable rate, found on your transport authority's fee schedule, to estimate the duty payable.

Frequently asked questions
Why do I need to enter my own duty rate?
Vehicle stamp duty rates and thresholds differ by state, vehicle type and sometimes engine size or emissions, so there is no single national rate to build in.
Where can I find my state's actual rate?
Check your state's transport authority or revenue office website (for example Service NSW, VicRoads, or Queensland Transport) for the current published duty scale.
Does this include registration and CTP?
No, this covers stamp duty only; use the Vehicle Registration Cost Estimator for ongoing registration and CTP costs.
Rates and thresholds are configured for the 2026–27 Australian financial year and should be reviewed when government settings change.
