Prorated Rent Calculator
Compare common rent-proration methods rather than assuming one universal daily rate. The annual method uses 365 or 366 days from the entered year, while the included-day count keeps move-in and move-out conventions visible.
How to use the Prorated Rent Calculator
Enter monthly rent, move-in or move-out date, chargeable date range, and the lease’s proration method.
Review lease language, inclusive dates, local law, concessions, utilities, deposits, and whether the month has 28, 29, 30, or 31 days.
Read chargeable days, daily rate, and prorated rent under the selected method.
Formula
Calendar-day method divides monthly rent by days in that month; the 30-day method divides by 30; annual method divides monthly rent × 12 by 365 or 366 days for the selected year.
Example
For $1,500 monthly rent in leap year 2028, the annual-method daily rate is $18,000 ÷ 366, before multiplying by the inclusive occupied-day count.
Assumptions and limitations
- The calculator counts both dates, handles one calendar month at a time, uses 366 days for a leap-year annual method, and does not interpret a lease or local law.
- Prorated Rent Calculator treats the entered values as estimates and does not infer missing project, account, or personal details.
- Calculations retain working precision except where the cited method requires an intermediate rounding step; displayed values are then formatted separately. Source rules and dated rates must be rechecked when they change.
