Singapore ABSD Calculator (Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty)

Estimate the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) payable on a Singapore property purchase.

This is an estimate for general informational purposes only, not legal or tax advice. Married-couple remission schemes and Free Trade Agreement exemptions for nationals of certain countries (e.g. US, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) can change the result — verify your exact profile on IRAS before a purchase.

ABSD is charged on top of standard Buyer’s Stamp Duty and depends on your residency status and how many residential properties you already own. Singapore Citizens buying their first home pay 0% ABSD, while foreigners pay a flat 60%.

Example

  • With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: ABSD Rate ≈ 60%; ABSD Payable ≈ SGD 900,000.00.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all foreigners pay the same ABSD rate?

Nationals and Permanent Residents of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, and United States citizens are accorded the same ABSD treatment as Singapore Citizens under Free Trade Agreements — everyone else pays the standard 60% foreigner rate.

Is ABSD charged in addition to normal stamp duty?

Yes — ABSD is charged on top of the standard Buyer’s Stamp Duty (BSD), which applies to every property purchase regardless of residency status.
