A $650,000 home: general and first-home rates
General duty is $11,115 plus 4.75% of $290,000, giving $24,890. Under the current first-home rate, an eligible home at the same value is $8,075. Compare the two by toggling first-home buyer with “Live in it” selected.
First-home examples use transactions from 7 May 2026. Earlier transactions use different limits. Check official rates ↗

Which relief should you check?
Eligibility still matters
The first home owner rate is linked to grant eligibility rules, but an established home can qualify for the duty rate without qualifying for a new-home grant. Price alone does not establish entitlement.

Do Perth and regional homes have different limits?
The examples use the statewide home limits from 7 May 2026. Some earlier transaction periods had different metropolitan and regional caps. Use RevenueWA for a historical contract.
Does “Live in it” apply every home concession?
No. The separate concessional rate for qualifying property up to $200,000 is not applied here. An eligible buyer in that range should check RevenueWA before using the general estimate.
Does a new apartment get off-the-plan relief?
Choosing “New home” does not model off-the-plan relief. Contract timing and the property arrangement matter. Review the current housing taxation package and get an official assessment. Read the official guidance ↗
Is this the official RevenueWA calculator?
No. It is an independent residential purchase estimate. Check the official result before settlement, especially for shared ownership, foreign purchasers or unusual transfers. Grants and registration costs are separate.
Build the rest of your buying budget
Use confirmed duty with your deposit, fees and reserve in the purchase-cost calculator. Review first-home assistance, read the buying-costs guide, or compare other states and territories.
Planning estimate only
This tool does not decide eligibility, include foreign purchaser surcharges, account for shared ownership or replace a conveyancer’s duty statement. Keep the official link beside your budget and confirm the amount before you sign or settle.
