How it works

## How it works

**Daily rate = monthly rent divided by days in the month.** Prorated rent is the daily rate times the days occupied, counting the move-in day through the last day of the month.

FAQ

## About this calculator

**Is prorating rent required?**

Not always. It depends on your lease and local rules, and some landlords charge a full month or align the lease to the first. Check your lease and local law.

**Does the move-in day count?**

This calculator counts it as a day occupied. If your lease counts differently, change the move-in day by one.

**Are there other ways to prorate?**

Some landlords use a 30-day month or a 365-day year for every month. Use the method in your lease.

**Is anything saved?**

No. The math runs in your browser and nothing you enter is sent to us.

**Is this tax or financial advice?**

No. It is a calculator for general information. Check the numbers against your own records, and ask an accountant before you act on them.
