When to use this calculator
Rent increases aren't free. The moment the renewal letter goes out, you're trading certainty for upside. This calculator weighs the annual gain of the proposed bump against the realistic cost of losing the tenant — vacancy, make-ready, and leasing — and tells you how many months at the new rent are needed to break even.
