Lagfart (stamp duty) calculator
Estimate Swedish lagfart costs by combining stamp duty and the fixed registration fee, using the highest of purchase price or tax assessment value.
What is lagfart?
Lagfart is the Swedish stamp duty paid when you register as the new owner of a property. The tax is based on the higher of the purchase price or the latest tax assessment value, plus a fixed registration fee to Lantmäteriet. For private buyers the rate is 1.5%, while companies and other legal entities pay 4.25%.
Why use the higher value?
Swedish rules require stamp duty to be calculated on the higher of the agreed purchase price or the tax assessment value. That prevents under-reporting the price to reduce tax. The calculator highlights which value was used so you know why the lagfart cost looks the way it does.
Plan your total transaction cost
Lagfart is one of two major fees when you buy a home in Sweden. The other is pantbrev (2% on any new mortgage deed amount). Use both numbers in your budget so you have enough cash for down payment, stamp duty, pantbrev, and moving costs.
