AGM Quorum and Levy Calculators
Free tools for South African bodies corporate and sectional title schemes. Check whether your general meeting has a quorum under the Sectional Titles Schemes Management Act, and estimate what each unit should pay in levies.
AGM / SGM quorum calculator
Based on Prescribed Management Rule 19(2): schemes with fewer than four primary sections need two thirds of the total value of votes present or represented; all other schemes need one third, with at least two persons present.
The units themselves, not garages or storerooms.
Usually 100 if participation quotas are percentages.
Add up the PQs of members present, represented, or voting by declared electronic means.
People in the room or on the call, including proxy holders.
A unanimous resolution has its own requirement: at least 80% of all members, in number and value, must be present or represented before it can be put to the vote. The Act also caps any one person at holding two proxies.
Monthly levy calculator
Under section 3(1)(b) of the STSMA, levies are raised in proportion to each unit’s participation quota unless the scheme’s rules or a special resolution determine otherwise. Enter the budget and a unit’s PQ to see its share.
Day-to-day running costs: insurance, security, cleaning, utilities, management.
The amount budgeted for the 10-year maintenance plan.
On the sectional plan or your levy statement.
A once-off special levy raised by trustee resolution.
An estimate for budgeting and sense-checking. Your scheme’s registered rules, or a decision taken by special resolution, may apportion some costs differently.
Running an AGM the hard way? Votera tracks quorum and proxies live, runs STSMA-aligned voting, and handles levy statements, maintenance and resident comms in one dashboard.
