ABSD Calculator (Singapore)
Estimate Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD), which depends on your residency status and how many residential properties you own.

- Purchase price or market value (higher of)
- Residency status
- Number of residential properties owned
How it works
ABSD is charged on top of BSD, as a percentage of the higher of price or market value. The rate rises with the number of properties you own and is highest for foreigners and entities.
Current Singapore rules
| Buyer | 1st | 2nd | 3rd+ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore Citizen | 0% | 20% | 30% |

| Entity / trustee | 65% | 65% | 65% |
Worked example
A citizen buying a second property at $1,000,000 pays ABSD of 20% = $200,000, on top of BSD. Some FTA nationals are treated as citizens.

How much ABSD does a citizen pay on a second property?
20% (and 30% on the third and subsequent), on top of BSD, on the higher of price or market value.
What is ABSD for foreigners?
60% on any residential property, though some Free Trade Agreement nationals are accorded the same treatment as citizens.
Is ABSD the same as BSD?
No. BSD is paid by all buyers (1%–6%); ABSD is an additional duty on top, depending on buyer profile and property count.
