Home maintenance budget calculator

Each method is a separate way to plan; they are not added together, because the property-type bands already cover aircon and routine jobs.

The per-unit figure covers two services and one chemical wash a year.

How this estimate works

There is no single right figure for home maintenance, so the calculator offers three ways to plan, one at a time. By property type, our guide suggests about RM1,500–RM4,000 a year for a condo or apartment and RM2,500–RM6,000 for a landed terrace house; a semi-D or bungalow is RM4,000–RM12,000. Those bands already cover aircon, minor plumbing and other routine jobs.

The second method is the rule of thumb in the guide: set aside 1% of the property value each year. Enter the value and the calculator works it out. The third method builds the routine items you know you have: aircon at RM200–RM400 per unit a year for two services and one chemical wash, plus RM150–RM400 to clean a rooftop water tank on a landed home. The methods are never added together, because the property-type bands already include these items.

The figures come from our annual home maintenance budget guide. Longer-cycle jobs such as an exterior repaint are better saved for separately, the way a condo keeps a sinking fund. When something needs doing, WhatsApp us your job details for a quote — we reply within the hour.

The formula

By property type: the yearly band for the type. By the 1% rule: property value × 1%. From items: number of aircon units × RM200–RM400 + RM150–RM400 for a rooftop tank clean. One method at a time; they are never added together.

Common Questions

How much should I set aside for home maintenance each year?
Our guide suggests about RM1,500–RM4,000 a year for a Klang Valley condo or apartment, RM2,500–RM6,000 for a landed terrace house and RM4,000–RM12,000 for a semi-D or bungalow. A simple rule of thumb is 1% of the property value per year.
How much does aircon maintenance cost a year?
A whole-year planning figure is RM200–RM400 per unit, covering two services and one chemical wash.
How much is a water tank clean?
Cleaning a rooftop water tank on a landed home is RM150–RM400.
Is the 1% rule accurate?
It is a quick planning rule, not a forecast. A new condo may spend less; an older landed home with a garden may spend more.
