Enter your monthly rent, total days in the month, and the days occupied to calculate your prorated rent.

Prorated Rent Calculation Formula

The following formula is used to calculate prorated rent based on your monthly rent and the number of days occupied.

Prorated Rent = (Monthly Rent / Total Days in Month) * Days Occupied

Variables:

  • Prorated Rent is the rent amount for the occupied days ($)
  • Monthly Rent is your total rent for the month ($)
  • Total Days in Month is the number of days in the month (e.g., 30, 31)
  • Days Occupied is the number of days you occupied the rental property

To calculate the prorated rent, divide the monthly rent by the total days in the month to get the daily rent rate, then multiply by the number of days occupied.
