RESPrep

ABSD Calculator (Singapore)

Estimate the Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) on a Singapore residential purchase based on your profile and how many properties you own — and see your total stamp duty (ABSD + BSD).

ABSD (0%)
$0
+ BSD $44,600 = $44,600 total stamp duty

ABSD is charged on top of BSD, as a flat percentage of the price/value. The rate depends on your residency status and how many residential properties you already own.

Estimates only, for general guidance. Rates current as of April 2023 (BSD/ABSD revisions) and may change with government measures — always confirm against IRAS ABSD before relying on a figure.

How ABSD works

ABSD is an additional stamp duty on top of BSD, introduced as a property cooling measure. It is a flat percentage of the purchase price or market value (whichever is higher). The rate rises with the number of residential properties you hold and differs by residency status — Singapore Citizens pay nothing on their first property, while PRs, foreigners and entities pay more. Reliefs (e.g. for married couples) and treaty exemptions may apply in specific cases.
