Method
Each figure applies the state's general transfer duty schedule to the purchase price. Privet only estimates a state once its schedule has been checked against the official source; other states link to the government calculator. First home buyer concessions, foreign purchaser surcharges, off-the-plan rules and commercial treatment are not included. See commercial stamp duty by state for commercial examples.
