How the estimate is calculated

Total rent is the monthly rent times the number of months.

The end date is the start date plus that many months. Rent does not increase during the term.

Lease total

Total rent equals monthly rent times months. The end date is the start date plus the term in months.

Example

  1. Enter the rent on the lease, not an estimate of next year’s renewal.
  2. Enter the number of months.
  3. Add a start date if you want a calendar end date.

With the numbers filled in on this page, the estimate is $21,600.00.

What changes the result

Flat rent

A mid-lease increase is not included. Use the rent increase calculator for renewals.

Move-out day

The end date is the same day of the month, or the last valid day when the month is shorter.

Fees

Deposits and fees are not part of total rent.

Questions

Does a 12-month lease end on the same day?

Are concessions included?

What if the start date is blank?

The end date is measured from today.
