Overview
The Maintenance Fee Calculator computes and breaks down monthly maintenance fees for apartments, officetels, and other multi-unit housing. It separates common management fees (general management, cleaning, security, elevator maintenance) from individual utility charges (electricity, water, gas, heating).
Formula
Total maintenance = Common fees + Individual utilities Common fee (per ㎡) = Total common fees ÷ Complex total area × Unit exclusive area Individual utilities = Electricity + Water + Gas + Heating + Others Average example (84㎡ apartment): Summer: 250K~350K KRW / Winter: 350K~500K KRW (including heating)

FAQ
Q. What are average apartment maintenance fees?
For a 84㎡ (25-pyeong) unit, average monthly maintenance is about 250K-400K KRW, including common fees and individual utilities. This varies significantly by season, complex size, and management method.
Q. How can I reduce maintenance fees?
Focus on individual utilities: LED lighting, standby power cutoffs, optimal heating temperature, insulation, water-saving showerheads. Common fee reductions can be pursued through the residents' representative council.
Q. Why are officetel maintenance fees higher than apartments?
Officetels use commercial electricity rates (about 1.5x residential), have smaller complexes increasing per-unit common costs, and often include central cooling systems that add to expenses.
Q. What costs are typically not included in maintenance fees?
Long-term repair reserves, additional parking fees, and internet/TV charges may be billed separately. Note that tenants can claim back long-term repair reserve contributions upon moving out.
