Property Tax Calculators

Last updated: October 2026 · Updated for the 2026/27 tax year

Property involves several different taxes: Stamp Duty or its Scottish and Welsh equivalents when you buy, Income Tax and mortgage interest rules when you let, Capital Gains Tax when you sell, council tax throughout, and Inheritance Tax when you pass a home on. These calculators and guides cover each stage.

WalesLand Transaction Tax (LTT)No first-time buyer relief, but the standard zero-rate band is £225,000.

Landlords face further rules. Under Section 24, mortgage interest on residential lettings is no longer deducted from rental income; instead it earns a basic-rate (20%) tax credit, which can push higher-rate landlords into paying more tax than their cash profit suggests. Gains on selling UK residential property must usually be reported and paid within 60 days of completion, and the annual exempt amount for Capital Gains Tax is only £3,000. In England, councils can charge up to double council tax on second homes, and the amount depends on where the property is.

Where to start

First-time buyers should start with the stamp duty calculator and the mortgage affordability calculator. Landlords should begin with the buy-to-let calculator, then compare personal and company ownership if they own several properties. If you are selling, the Capital Gains Tax calculator shows the tax before you commit, and our guide to council tax bands helps you check that you are not paying too much on the property you live in.
