Land tax calculator

Find your land value on your state valuation notice. In the ACT, enter each property's average unimproved value.

NSW works out land tax on an average of land values over three years. Turn this on to enter the totals for the two earlier years.

Tick this if the land is in the Perth metropolitan region.

The TAS foreign owner surcharge depends on when you acquired the land.

This calculator needs JavaScript. The rates it uses are in the table below.

How it’s calculated

The method behind your estimate

How this estimate works

This page starts with SA selected. If you change the state in the calculator, the result follows your selected state, not this page title. Enter taxable land values and select the jurisdiction and ownership assumptions. Land tax usually concerns land value, not a property's total purchase price.

What to check before you act

Aggregation, trusts, absentee owners and exemptions differ by jurisdiction. This model does not determine exemption eligibility or replace an assessment.

Sources and further guidance

General information only. Check the calculator workings, selected rules date and supported scope. Not financial, credit, tax, legal or valuation advice.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Short answers about the method, the rules and what HtAG data adds.

Still have a question? Contact us

Should I enter the house-and-land purchase price?

Use the relevant taxable land value. The building value and sale price are not substitutes for an official land valuation.

Does the Northern Territory charge land tax?

The NT does not currently impose land tax. Transfer duty and other property costs are separate.

Is the land tax calculator free to use?

Yes. Every HtAG calculator is free to use with your own figures, and you do not need an account. An HtAG plan adds property and suburb data to the calculators that support it.
