Water Bill Calculator Malaysia 2026

Air Selangor (covers Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Putrajaya) uses a 3-tier tariff effective 1 September 2025: first 20 m³ at RM0.65/m³, next 15 m³ (21–35 m³) at RM1.62/m³, and above 35 m³ at RM3.51/m³. Minimum monthly charge is RM6.50. SADE recipients (household income ≤RM6,000/month) receive the first 20 m³ free.

A typical Malaysian household of 4 people uses about 20–30 m³ of water per month (≈250L/person/day). At Air Selangor rates, 25 m³ costs approximately RM21.75/month. At SAJ Johor rates, 25 m³ costs approximately RM29.25/month. Penang is the cheapest at approximately RM16.75 for 25 m³. Water bills in Malaysia are significantly lower than in Singapore (SGD 40–80/month) or Australia (AUD 60–100/month).

Read your water meter at the start and end of the month to get your usage in cubic metres (m³). Then apply your state's tiered tariff: for Air Selangor, first 20 m³ × RM0.65 = RM13.00; remaining m³ above 20 × RM1.62; remaining above 35 × RM3.51. Add the amounts together, then compare against the minimum charge (RM6.50) — you pay whichever is higher. Use our calculator above to skip the maths.

20 kL (kilolitres) = 20 m³ (cubic metres). At Air Selangor rates: 20 m³ × RM0.65 = RM13.00/month (or free for SADE recipients). For a family of 4, this equals about 167 litres per person per day — below the national average of 250L/person/day, meaning it represents water-conscious usage.

Yes — Air Selangor, Ranhill SAJ (Johor), and SAMB (Melaka) all implemented new tariff rates in August–September 2025. For most households using under 20 m³/month, the impact is minimal as Tier 1 rates changed the least. The biggest impact is on high-usage households (>35 m³/month) where Tier 3 rates increased by 35–50 sen/m³. Low-income households qualifying for SADE or equivalent subsidies are protected.
