What's the average monthly rent for a studio in Jakarta as of 2026?

As of 2026, the average monthly rent for a studio apartment in Jakarta is about Rp4.5 million, which is roughly $285 or €265.

In practice, most studio rents in Jakarta sit between Rp2.5 million and Rp8 million per month, which is about $160 to $505 or €145 to €470.

This wide range makes sense because a basic studio in West Jakarta, East Jakarta or North Jakarta is much cheaper than a furnished studio in South Jakarta, SCBD, Senopati, Sudirman or Kuningan.

As of 2026, the average monthly rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in Jakarta is about Rp6.5 million, which is roughly $410 or €380.

For most 1-bedroom apartments in Jakarta, a realistic rent range is Rp3.5 million to Rp14 million per month, or about $220 to $885 and €205 to €825.

The cheapest 1-bedroom rents are usually in older or less central buildings in East Jakarta, West Jakarta, Kalibata or Cempaka Putih, while the highest rents are in SCBD, Senopati, Sudirman, Kuningan and good South Jakarta buildings.

What's the average rent per square meter in Jakarta as of 2026?

As of 2026, the average apartment rent in Jakarta is about Rp170,000 per square meter per month, which is roughly $11 or €10.

Across Jakarta, a realistic range is Rp100,000 to Rp300,000 per square meter per month, or about $6 to $19 and €6 to €18.

Compared with Bali luxury areas or Singapore, Jakarta rent per square meter is lower, but Jakarta is still one of Indonesia’s strongest rental markets because it has deep office, expat and family demand.

In Jakarta, rent per square meter goes above average when an apartment is furnished, close to MRT stations, connected to a mall, in a secure building or located in SCBD, Senopati, Sudirman, Kuningan or Pondok Indah.

How much have rents changed year-over-year in Jakarta in 2026?

As of 2026, average apartment rents in Jakarta are up by about 4% year-over-year in nominal terms.

This rent growth is mainly driven by South Jakarta demand, stronger mobility, steady office activity, expat housing demand and the value of being close to the MRT.

Compared with the previous year, rent growth in Jakarta in 2026 looks slightly firmer in prime areas, but older non-prime buildings still show little growth because tenants remain price-sensitive.

What's the outlook for rent growth in Jakarta in 2026?

As of 2026, the expected rent growth for Jakarta apartments over the rest of the year is about 3% to 6%.

The main support for Jakarta rent growth is the city’s 2026 economic expansion, steady office demand, returning mobility, expat demand and limited appetite for long commutes.

The strongest rent growth is likely in SCBD, Senopati, Kuningan, Sudirman, Senayan, Pondok Indah, Lebak Bulus and MRT-connected buildings.

The main risks are weaker hiring, more tenant negotiation, higher financing costs, oversupply in older towers and owners asking too much for units that are not well located.

Which neighborhoods rent best in Jakarta as of 2026?

Which neighborhoods have the highest rents in Jakarta as of 2026?

As of 2026, the three highest-rent areas in Jakarta are SCBD and Senopati at about Rp25 million to Rp45 million per month, Sudirman at about Rp15 million to Rp35 million, and Mega Kuningan at about Rp12 million to Rp30 million, or roughly $760 to $2,850 and €705 to €2,650 depending on unit size.

These Jakarta neighborhoods command premium rents because they place tenants close to offices, malls, restaurants, gyms, private transport routes, security and high-quality apartment towers.

The typical tenants in these high-rent Jakarta neighborhoods are expat managers, senior local professionals, corporate tenants, executives, diplomatic staff and high-income couples.

By the way, we’ve written a blog article detailing Sources and methodology: we compared premium listings on 99.co SCBD, Rumah123 South Jakarta and Lamudi. We checked the neighborhood ranking with Colliers and JLL. Our rent bands use realistic market ranges, not only the most expensive listings.

These family-friendly Jakarta areas work well because they have larger layouts, parking, quieter streets, hospitals, international school access and better access to daily services.

Which areas near transit or universities rent faster in Jakarta in 2026?

Jakarta landlords should avoid luxury finishes in weak buildings, expensive custom furniture for small units and heavy renovations in towers with poor management or bad access.

Prime units near MRT stations, offices or international schools can rent in 2 to 4 weeks, while overpriced luxury units and older towers can stay listed for more than 90 days.

Which months have peak tenant demand in Jakarta?

The peak tenant-demand months in Jakarta are usually January to February and July to September.

January and February are helped by job changes and corporate moves, while July to September is helped by school calendars, university activity and family relocations.

What will my monthly costs be in Jakarta as of 2026?

What property taxes should landlords expect in Jakarta as of 2026?

As of 2026, a typical Jakarta apartment landlord should expect annual PBB-P2 property tax of about Rp1 million to Rp5 million, which is roughly $65 to $315 or €60 to €295.

Depending on assessed value, location and any relief, annual property tax in Jakarta can be below Rp1 million for a modest unit or above Rp10 million for a high-value apartment, which is about below $65 or above $630 and below €60 or above €590.

Jakarta property tax is calculated from the official assessed value, called NJOP, and the final bill depends on the taxable value, the local rate and any Jakarta PBB-P2 incentive that applies.

Please note that, in our property pack covering the real estate market in Jakarta, we cover what exemptions or deductions may be available to reduce property taxes for landlords.

What utilities do landlords often pay in Jakarta right now?

In Jakarta apartments, landlords most often pay or reserve for service charge, sinking fund, major repairs, insurance and property tax, while tenants usually pay electricity, water and internet.

For a typical Jakarta apartment, landlord-paid or landlord-reserved building costs can run about Rp1 million to Rp4 million per month, or roughly $65 to $250 and €60 to €235.

The common practice in Jakarta is to make the tenant pay daily-use utilities directly, while the landlord stays responsible for ownership costs unless the lease clearly passes them through.

How is rental income taxed in Jakarta as of 2026?

As of 2026, rental income from land and buildings in Jakarta is generally taxed under Indonesia’s 10% final income tax on gross rent.

Because this is generally a final tax on gross rent, individual landlords usually should not assume they can deduct repairs, service charges or mortgage interest from the taxable rental amount.

Common Jakarta tax mistakes include forgetting the 10% gross-rent tax, misunderstanding who must withhold, mixing service charges into the rent calculation and ignoring annual PBB-P2 property tax duties.

We cover these mistakes, among others, in our Sources and methodology: we used DJP rental income tax rules, Bapenda DKI Jakarta and official tax guidance. We treated private tax summaries only as secondary explanations. Landlords should still confirm their own situation with a qualified Indonesian tax adviser.

We did some research and made this infographic to help you quickly compare rental yields of the major cities in Indonesia versus those in neighboring countries.
