How it works

Read the result with the formula and assumptions in mind.

Short answer

This calculator estimates tenancy stamp duty based on annual rental, tenancy length and extra stamped copies.

Formula

Calculation logic

Chargeable rent = annual rent - RM2,400. Base duty is charged per RM250 or part thereof, with the rate depending on tenancy length. Under Item 34, each extra counterpart carries the same duty as the original when original duty is RM10 or less; otherwise it is RM10 per extra copy.

Example

Worked scenario

Example: enter monthly rent and tenancy period to estimate the base duty, then add copy duty for additional stamped copies.

Assumptions

Before using the number

  • The calculation uses a simplified flat-rent treatment under Items 49 and 34 of the Stamp Act 1949.
  • Roundings and LHDN treatment should be checked for actual stamping.
  • This does not replace legal advice on tenancy terms.

Interpretation

How to use the result

  • Use the estimate to budget for stamping, then confirm the instrument and current assessment with HASiL or the professional handling it.
  • Tenancy length and the number of stamped counterparts can change the total.
  • The calculator does not interpret special clauses or substitute for legal review of the agreement.
