What £1,100,000 means for your stamp duty bill
£1,100,000 reaches the 10% band, which applies to the portion above £925,000. Because the lower bands are still taxed at their own rates, your effective rate is 4.9% rather than the headline 10%. The total comes to £53,750.
The marginal rate matters a great deal at this level. Each extra £10,000 above £1,100,000 costs £1,000 in additional tax. Buyers in this bracket often find that negotiating the price down by a modest amount produces a disproportionate saving once stamp duty is factored in.
For context, £1,100,000 is about 279% above the UK average house price of roughly £290,000. Your marginal rate at this price is 10%, meaning that is the rate charged on the next pound you add to the purchase price.
