- Stamp duty (2026 Update): the previous RM2,400 annual-rent exemption has been fully removed. For every RM250 (or part) of the TOTAL annual rent, you pay RM1 (≤1 yr), RM3 (>1–3 yrs), RM5 (>3–5 yrs), or RM7 (>5 yrs).
- Minimum duty: the minimum payable stamp duty for the original agreement is RM10.
- Duplicate copies are stamped at RM10 each.
- Law Firm & Legal Service: is an estimate based on scale rates and is subject to 8% SST. It is negotiable, and many firms charge a flat fee.
- Deposits are market convention, not law — they are refundable / offset and fully adjustable above.
- Verify and pay stamp duty online via the MyTax (e-Duti Setem) portal. This tool is an estimate for planning, not legal advice.
Understanding Your Malaysia Tenancy Agreement Fees (2026 Guidelines)
Navigating the upfront expenses of renting a property can be complicated. This house rental calculator simplifies the process, dynamically tracking live scale criteria from the Lembaga Hasil Dalam Negeri (LHDN) and standard legal practices across Malaysia.
How is the LHDN Rental Stamp Duty Calculated?
Our lhdn stamp duty calculator references the direct operational tier parameters specified by the Inland Revenue Board. In 2026, stamp duty rules have evolved: the standard structural calculation is determined by dividing your gross annual income value by tiers of RM250. The corresponding fee rate scales incrementally based on your lease period length:
- Lease Term 1 Year or Less: RM1 per every RM250 increment.
- Lease Term 1 to 3 Years: RM3 per every RM250 increment.
- Lease Term 3 to 5 Years: RM5 per every RM250 increment.
- Lease Term Exceeding 5 Years: RM7 per every RM250 increment.
Important Changes: LHDN Stamp Duty Exemption 2026
Please note that the older RM2,400 statutory annual threshold reduction has been fully removed. This means the complete annualized volume is fully subject to basic calculations right from the base tier up, with an absolute mandatory minimum baseline of RM10 for document validation.
Standard Legal Fee Structures for Tenancy Agreements
Beyond standard tenancy stamping calculator outputs, legal scaling guidelines govern professional drafting workflows. Standard professional fees are structured progressively based on your monthly asset rental pricing tiers:
- First RM10,000 of monthly rental: 25% professional baseline rate.
- Next RM90,000 of monthly rental: 20% professional baseline rate.
