What is Stamp Duty?
Stamp duty is a tax levied on taxable documents, deeds, and business account books drawn up and received in economic activities and transactions. It has the characteristics of a "small tax category, big impact," aiming to regulate economic behavior and adjust economic relations. In China, stamp duty taxpayers are usually units and individuals who sign, receive, or use taxable documents. This calculator is based on the "Stamp Duty Law of the People's Republic of China" and relevant regulations, covering common types of taxable documents, helping users understand and fulfill their stamp duty obligations.
How to Use the Stamp Duty Calculator
- Select Tax Category: According to your contract or document type, select the corresponding tax category from the "Tax Category" dropdown list, such as "Property Lease Contract 1‰", "Purchase and Sale Contract 0.3‰", or "Rights and Licenses 5 yuan/piece". Each tax category has clearly marked its corresponding tax rate.
- Enter Amount/Quantity: In the "Amount/Quantity" input box, enter the corresponding value based on the tax basis of the selected tax category. For tax categories taxed proportionally (e.g., purchase and sale contracts, loan contracts), please enter the contract amount (unit: yuan); for tax categories taxed by piece (e.g., rights and licenses), please enter the number of pieces. The default value is 10000 yuan; please modify it according to the actual situation.
- Set Decimal Places: In the "Decimal Places" input box, set the number of decimal places you want the calculation result to retain. It supports 0 to 100 decimal places, with a default value of 2. You can adjust it according to actual precision requirements.
- View Results: The tool will automatically calculate based on your input and display it in "Your Payable Stamp Duty Amount", in yuan.
Detailed Explanation of Stamp Duty Calculation Formula
There are two main methods for calculating stamp duty:
- Taxed proportionally (applicable to most contracts and deeds):
Stamp Duty Amount = Amount × Tax Rate
For example: A purchase and sale contract with an amount of 100,000 yuan and a tax rate of 0.3‰, then the stamp duty amount = 100,000 × 0.0003 = 30 yuan.
- Taxed by piece (applicable to rights and licenses):
Stamp Duty Amount = Quantity × Tax per Piece
For example: 5 rights and licenses, with a tax of 5 yuan per piece, then the stamp duty amount = 5 × 5 yuan = 25 yuan.
This stamp duty calculator will intelligently match the corresponding calculation formula and tax rate based on the tax category you select, simplifying your calculation process.

Frequently Asked Questions

This tool has embedded 13 common tax categories and their corresponding tax rates (such as property lease contracts 1‰, purchase and sale contracts 0.3‰, rights and licenses 5 yuan/piece) for user convenience.
- Q: What input formats does this stamp duty calculator support? A: The input format is mainly numerical. In the "Amount/Quantity" field, you need to enter a non-negative number representing the contract amount or document quantity (for tax categories taxed by piece). The "Decimal Places" field also accepts non-negative integers.
- Q: What is the format of the output result? A: The output result is your payable stamp duty amount, displayed as a number, in "yuan", and its number of decimal places can be precisely controlled according to your settings.
- Q: Why are some tax categories "‰" and some "yuan/piece"? A: These are two different tax calculation methods stipulated by the Stamp Duty Law. "‰" represents a tax rate in per mille, applicable to documents taxed proportionally by amount; "yuan/piece" means a fixed tax per piece, applicable to specific documents such as rights and licenses. This tool will automatically identify and apply the corresponding tax calculation method.
Notes
- Please ensure that the entered "Amount/Quantity" is accurate, as this is a key factor affecting the stamp duty calculation result. Especially for contracts taxed proportionally, an incorrect amount will lead to tax deviation.
- For tax categories such as "Rights and Licenses" that are taxed by piece, please accurately fill in the actual "number of pieces" of the certificates in the "Amount/Quantity" input box, not the amount, otherwise it will lead to calculation errors.
- The calculation results provided by this stamp duty calculator are for reference only and have no legal effect, nor do they serve as the final tax basis. For the specific stamp duty amount payable, please refer to the final assessment and official documents of the local tax authority.
- Stamp duty policies may be adjusted. This tool will strive to stay updated, but users are still advised to refer to the latest tax laws and regulations when performing actual tax operations.
