Where the England figure comes from
| Band | Tax |
|---|---|
| 0% on £0 to £125,000 | £0 |
| 2% on £125,000 to £250,000 | £2,500 |

The bands work like income tax: each rate applies only to the slice of the price inside it. The stamp duty calculator reworks these figures for any price and situation, and the mortgage repayment calculator covers the monthly cost of the borrowing itself.
