Free Malaysia property planning tool

Property & Home Loan Calculator

Start with monthly repayment and DSR affordability, then estimate stamp duty, legal fees, progressive payments and rental ROI before shortlisting a Malaysian property.

Planning estimate, not bank approval

Actual eligibility, rates and instalments depend on the lender, borrower profile and approved loan package.

First-time buyer guide

New to property loans? Start with these three numbers.

You do not need to understand every banking term before using this page. Begin with the property price, the cash you can prepare and a monthly payment that still leaves room for normal life.

01

Estimate the repayment

Enter the property price, expected loan margin, indicative interest rate and tenure. This gives a planning instalment, not an approved bank offer.

02

Check your DSR

Add every existing monthly debt repayment. DSR compares total debt commitments with the income basis recognised by the bank.

03

Prepare more than the deposit

Allow for stamp duty, legal work, loan documentation, insurance, valuation, maintenance, renovation and emergency savings.

Loan marginThe percentage of the property price financed by the bank.
DSRMonthly debt commitments divided by the income basis used by the lender.
Reducing balanceInterest is calculated on the outstanding loan, which falls as principal is repaid.

03Stamp Duty (MOT) Calculator

Estimate transfer and loan agreement stamp duty

Malaysia property loan guide

How to read the calculator before choosing a home.

A useful property budget combines loan affordability, upfront purchase costs and the ongoing cost of owning the home. These four checks explain what each result means.

01

Monthly repayment uses a reducing balance

Malaysian housing loans are commonly estimated with a reducing-balance formula. Your instalment includes interest and principal, while the interest portion is higher earlier in the tenure. The final bank schedule depends on the approved rate and product terms.

02

DSR is a planning ratio, not one fixed rule

Debt service ratio compares monthly debt commitments with the income basis accepted by a lender. Housing, car, credit-card, personal and education repayments should be entered separately. Banks can recognise income and commitments differently, so this result cannot guarantee approval.

03

Stamp duty and legal fees need professional confirmation

Transfer duty may be assessed on the consideration or market value, whichever is higher. Legal fees depend on the transaction and prescribed scale, while exemptions, disbursements and extra legal work can change the final cash required.

04

New-launch cash flow differs from completed property

For an under-construction project, the bank normally releases financing in stages. Progressive interest grows as more is released. Investors should also compare effective rent, vacancy, maintenance and financing instead of relying only on gross rental yield or hoped-for appreciation.

Reference material: JPPH stamp-duty guidance, Solicitors’ Remuneration Order 2023 and the prescribed Schedule H payment schedule. Rules, reliefs and professional charges can change.

Use the number carefully

A comfortable payment matters more than the maximum loan.

Keep room for maintenance charges, insurance, assessment, repairs, lifestyle spending and future rate changes. The bank’s maximum is not automatically your safe budget.

Calculator FAQ

Before relying on the estimate

How is monthly repayment calculated?

The estimate uses a standard reducing-balance amortisation formula. Actual bank figures may differ because of the approved rate, product structure, fees and rounding.

Does the affordability result guarantee approval?

No. It is only a planning estimate using the DSR limit you selected. Banks apply their own rules for income, commitments, age, credit profile and the property.

What costs may still be missing?

The page estimates several major costs, but final quotations can still include valuation, insurance, searches, registration, consent, statutory disbursements, maintenance, renovation, tax and project-specific charges. Confirm exemptions and reliefs separately.

Why test a higher interest rate?

A higher-rate comparison shows whether the payment would remain comfortable if financing costs rise. It is a sensitivity check, not a forecast.

What commitments should I include for DSR?

Include recurring housing, car, personal, education and other loan repayments plus minimum credit-card payments. A banker may assess additional commitments or recognise income differently.

Why can actual stamp duty and legal fees differ?

Valuation, buyer status, exemptions, transaction type, additional documents, disbursements and changes in law can affect the final amount. Always request current professional quotations.

What is progressive interest?

For an under-construction property, interest is generally charged on the loan amount already released to the developer. The amount rises as more construction stages are certified and financed.

What is a useful property ROI check?

Compare realistic effective rent with maintenance, vacancy, annual ownership costs and financing. Gross yield alone can look attractive while the actual cash flow remains negative.
