How is Rental Stamp Duty Calculated?
For tenancy agreements in Singapore, stamp duty is calculated as 0.4% of Total Rent for the lease period (capped at 4 years). Annual rent of S$1,000 or less is exempt from stamp duty.
Examples (Monthly Rent: $3,000):
1-Year Lease
Annual: $36,000
Duty: $144
2-Year Lease
Total: $72,000
Duty: $288
3-Year Lease
Total: $108,000
Duty: $432
4+ Year Lease
Capped: $144,000
Duty: $576
Staggered Rent Not Supported
This calculator assumes fixed monthly rent for all years. For staggered rent agreements (e.g., Year 1: $5,000/mo, Year 2: $5,500/mo), IRAS requires calculating total rent across all years manually. This is uncommon for residential leases but may apply to some commercial agreements.
