Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty is the single biggest variable in a Singapore property purchase, and it depends entirely on who you are and how many homes you already own. This calculator uses the latest 2026 rates: Singapore Citizens pay nothing on a first home but 20% on a second and 30% on a third; Permanent Residents pay 5%, 30% and 35%; foreigners pay a flat 60%; and entities pay 65%.
Enter your price, pick the profile that matches your residency and property count, and the tool shows the exact rate and dollar amount instantly. Because ABSD is charged on top of Buyer's Stamp Duty, use it together with our BSD calculator to budget your full upfront tax bill. If you are a national of a Free Trade Agreement country, the note below explains how you may qualify for Citizen rates.

Estimate only, based on 2026 ABSD rates. ABSD is charged on top of Buyer's Stamp Duty. Your property count includes existing residential properties held wholly or partially. Remission schemes (e.g. married couples buying their first matrimonial home, developers) may reduce or refund ABSD. Confirm with IRAS or your lawyer.
Singapore Citizens pay 0% on their first residential property, 20% on the second, and 30% on the third or subsequent. Permanent Residents pay 5% on the first, 30% on the second, and 35% on the third or subsequent. Foreigners pay 60% on any residential property, and entities or companies pay 65%.
ABSD is a flat percentage of the higher of the purchase price and the market value. There is no tiering: you simply multiply the price by your applicable rate. For example, a Singapore Citizen buying a second property at $1,500,000 pays 20%, or $300,000, in ABSD on top of Buyer's Stamp Duty.
Under Free Trade Agreements, Nationals and Permanent Residents of the United States, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are accorded the same ABSD treatment as Singapore Citizens. Eligible buyers should select the matching Singapore Citizen profile in the calculator.
A married couple with at least one Singapore Citizen spouse may apply for an ABSD remission when buying a second property, provided they sell their first residential property within the stipulated timeframe (typically six months for a completed property). The ABSD is paid first and refunded on a successful claim.
Yes. ABSD is charged on top of the standard Buyer's Stamp Duty (BSD). To estimate your full upfront stamp duty bill, calculate both and add them together.
