This calculator shows how much you save: the exemption is full up to €330,539, partial between that and €660,982, and disappears above it. Enter the purchase value (or the VPT, if higher) to see the saving.
IMT Jovem exempts a first own and permanent home bought up to age 35 from IMT and the acquisition Stamp Duty. The base is the higher of the deed price and the VPT, enter both. Mainland tables, 2026 limits.

What IMT Jovem is
Since 1 August 2024, anyone buying their first own and permanent home up to age 35 is exempt from two taxes due at the deed: IMT (the property transfer tax) and the acquisition Stamp Duty (0.8%). It is a measure to help young people buy a home, created by Decreto-Lei n.º 48-A/2024. The exemption depends on the property value: it is full up to a limit and partial in the band above it.
Full, partial or no exemption
The value that counts is the higher of the deed price and the property’s VPT, the same base as IMT. Up to €330,539 (the 4th IMT bracket limit in 2026) the exemption is full: you pay no IMT and no acquisition Stamp Duty. Between €330,539 and €660,982 it is partial: you pay IMT and Stamp Duty only on the amount above €330,539 (8% IMT and 0.8% Stamp Duty on the excess). Above €660,982 there is no exemption: you pay the normal IMT and Stamp Duty on the whole value.
Who qualifies
To benefit from IMT Jovem you must meet all the conditions at the date of the deed: be 35 or younger; it must be your first own and permanent home (a built property, not land); you must not be a dependent for IRS purposes (you file your own tax return); and you must not be (nor have been in the last 3 years) the owner of another dwelling. The deed must be on or after 1 August 2024. This calculator assumes you meet these conditions and computes the saving from the value.
Worked example
A 30-year-old buys their first home for €250,000 (with a lower VPT). As the value is below €330,539, the exemption is full: instead of paying €7,042 in IMT plus €2,000 in Stamp Duty (0.8%), they pay €0, a saving of about €9,042 at the deed. If the home cost €400,000, the exemption would be partial: they would pay IMT and Stamp Duty only on the €69,461 above the limit (≈ €6,113), still saving about €15,324.
