Malaysia Stamp Duty Calculator

Calculate the Memorandum of Transfer (MOT) stamp duty and loan agreement stamp duty for any Malaysian property purchase, with optional first-time buyer exemptions.

How stamp duty works in Malaysia

When you buy a property in Malaysia, the government collects two main types of stamp duty: one on the transfer of the title (Memorandum of Transfer, or MOT) and one on the loan agreement. Both are paid by the buyer through the conveyancing lawyer.

MOT stamp duty rates

• 1% on the first RM100,000 of property price
• 2% on the next RM400,000 (RM100,001 – RM500,000)
• 3% on the next RM500,000 (RM500,001 – RM1,000,000)
• 4% on the amount above RM1,000,000

Loan agreement stamp duty

A flat 0.5% on the total loan amount.

First-time buyer exemption

Malaysian first-time buyers purchasing residential property priced up to RM500,000 may qualify for full or partial exemption on both MOT and loan stamp duty, subject to the latest LHDN rules.
