1. What is the Room Rent Calculation?

The room rent calculation determines a fair price for renting a room based on its size relative to the total property size, total rent amount, and local adjustment factors specific to Malaysia.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the room rent formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Total Rent} \) — Entire property rental amount (MYR)
• \( \text{Room Size} \) — Size of the room in square feet
• \( \text{Total House Size} \) — Entire property size in square feet
• \( \text{Malaysia Adjustment} \) — Local market adjustment factor

Explanation: The calculation proportionally distributes the total rent based on room size and applies a Malaysia-specific adjustment factor.

3. Importance of Accurate Room Rent Calculation

Details: Proper room rent calculation ensures fairness for both landlords and tenants, considering space utilization and local market conditions in Malaysia.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter total property rent in MYR, room size and total property size in square feet, and Malaysia adjustment factor (typically 0.9-1.2). All values must be positive numbers.
