BSD applies tier-by-tier up to 6%. ABSD applies as a flat percentage on total purchase price based on citizenship and existing property ownership:

BSD = 1% ($180k) + 2% ($180k) + 3% ($640k) + 4% ($500k) + 5% ($1.5M) + 6% (Excess) ABSD = Property Price × (0% to 65% depending on residency and property count)
