Tenancy calculator
Work out the stamp duty payable on a tenancy agreement, then the deposits and advance rental that usually sit alongside it.
Calculated from the rent and tenancy period rather than read off a table, so the figure follows the current rates rather than a screenshot of old ones.
How this is worked out
Stamp Act 1949, First Schedule Item 49(a), as amended by the Finance Act 2024. Duty is charged on the full annual rent in blocks of RM250 or part thereof, at a rate set by the tenancy period, with a minimum of RM10. The former RM2,400 annual-rent exemption was removed with effect from 1 January 2025.
This is an estimate for planning only. Confirm the payable amount with LHDN or your solicitor before signing, and note that stamping is due within 30 days of the agreement being signed.
Reference only. Deposit terms are set by the landlord and vary by property.
Optional. If filled in, the advanced total will replace the simple Other Estimated Cost.

This calculator provides an estimated rental move-in cost only. Actual deposit, professional fee if applicable, legal fee, stamping fee, processing fee and other charges may vary depending on landlord requirement, tenancy period, rental amount, lawyer charges and final tenancy terms. Please confirm the final amount before signing any agreement.
