• 1

  Singapore publishes rent affordability figures in Singapore Dollar, revised periodically — enter the rate currently in force for your case in Singapore rather than an older stored figure so the result matches the official calculation.

• 2

  When comparing two options for Singapore, run both through this rent affordability with the same rate and the same Singapore Dollar basis; then the difference you see reflects the options themselves rather than an inconsistency between the two inputs.

• 3

  A rent affordability result for Singapore is only as current as the rate you typed in: when the figure matters, re-run it with a freshly confirmed Singapore Dollar rate instead of one saved last month.

• A percentage entered as a whole number where a decimal is expected (15 versus 0.15) is off by ×100 — the most common single error in rate fields. Check which form the Singapore Rent Affordability field expects before you type.

• Property charges in Singapore are often banded: the percentage changes across Singapore Dollar price slices, so one flat multiplication can misquote the total. Split the amount across the applicable bands before adding the parts back up.
