Common Questions About Prorated Rent
How do I calculate my prorated rent myself?
Use this formula: Take your monthly rent, divide by the number of days in the month, then multiply by the days you'll occupy the unit. For example: $1,500 rent ÷ 30 days × 15 days = $750.
What is the most accurate rent proration method?
The daily rate method (dividing by actual days in the month) is most accurate and legally preferred. Our free calculator uses this method automatically.
Does my landlord have to prorate rent?
In most cases, yes — if you're not occupying the full month, you should only pay for the days you occupy. However, check your lease agreement as some landlords include specific proration terms.
Can I use this calculator for commercial rent?
Yes, though commercial leases sometimes use the annual (365-day) method. Our calculator defaults to the standard daily rate method which works for most situations.
