Your result
Updates as you type. Based on 2025/26 UK figures where relevant.
How this is worked out
Take the discount percentage off your annual bill. Most councils collect over 10 monthly instalments, though you can ask for 12.
Tips
- Stamp duty rules differ by nation: SDLT in England and Northern Ireland, LBTT in Scotland and LTT in Wales.
- Lenders price mortgages in LTV bands, so a slightly bigger deposit can unlock a noticeably lower rate.
- Always compare the total cost of a mortgage deal including fees, not just the headline rate.
