1. What is the House Room Rent Calculator?

The House Room Rent Calculator helps you determine your individual room rent share when splitting the total house rent with others in Malaysia. It calculates based on your agreed share of the total rent.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple equation:

Where:

• \( my\_rent \) — Total house rent amount (MYR)
• \( my\_room\_share \) — Your share of the rent (unitless, typically between 0 and 1)

Explanation: Multiply the total house rent by your agreed share percentage (e.g., 0.5 for half share) to get your individual room rent.

3. Importance of Room Rent Calculation

Details: Accurate room rent calculation ensures fair distribution of housing costs among roommates and helps with personal budgeting.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total house rent in MYR and your share (e.g., 0.33 for one-third share). Both values must be positive numbers.
