Why Should You Use a Rent Increase Calculator?

How to Use the Rent Increase Calculator

Simply enter your current rent, the percentage increase expected per year, and the number of years you want to project. The calculator will instantly show you the future cost of your rent and provide a visual representation.

How to Calculate My Rent Increase?

Calculating rent increase is simple. Here’s the formula and a breakdown:

Formula:

Future Rent = Current Rent × (1 + Rent Increase Rate)^Number of Years

Here’s what each part of the formula means:

  • Current Rent: The amount you currently pay for rent annually.
  • Rent Increase Rate: The percentage by which your rent increases each year, expressed as a decimal. For example, 2% is represented as 0.02.
  • Number of Years: The number of years into the future you want to calculate your rent for.

For example, if your current annual rent is $1,000, the expected rent increase is 2%, and you want to calculate for 5 years:

Future Rent = 1,000 × (1 + 0.02)^5 = 1,000 × 1.10408 = $1,104.08

After 5 years, your annual rent will increase to $1,104.08.
