How this calculator works
- Transfer / stamp tax is approximated as purchase price × your % rate, minus any flat discount you enter.
- The annual charge is a simple % of the same price, multiplied by the number of years you choose.
- No local thresholds, special schemes, or complex bands are built in; this is a generic maths tool only.
