Prorated rent calculator

Prorated Rent Calculator

Calculate partial-month rent when someone moves in, moves out, or pays for only part of a rental period.

Prorated rent
$600.00

Based on 10 days out of 30 days.

Daily rate
$60.00

Full rent divided by days in the rent period.

Formula

Prorated rent = monthly rent / days in period x days owed.

How this calculator works

Proration splits the full rent across the days in the rental period, then charges only the days owed. That can happen at move-in, move-out, lease changes, roommate changes, or when a landlord charges for a partial first month.

The safest approach is to match the lease or invoice. Some leases use the exact number of days in the month. Others use a fixed 30-day period. This calculator lets you enter either method.

What this result does not include

The result covers base rent only. Utilities, deposits, parking, late fees, local rules, and lease-specific rounding may need to be handled separately.

Worked examples

Moving in mid-month

If rent is $1,800 and the tenant owes 10 days out of a 30-day period, the prorated amount is $600.

Comparing calendar-day and 30-day methods

A 10-day charge in February can differ from a 10-day charge in a 31-day month. Check which day count your lease uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you calculate prorated rent?
Divide the full rent by the number of days in the rental period, then multiply by the number of days owed.
Should I use 30 days or the actual days in the month?
Use the method stated in the lease, invoice, or local rules. If nothing is stated, ask before assuming a method.
Does prorated rent include utilities or fees?
Not unless you include them in the rent amount. Some charges may not prorate the same way as base rent.
Can this be used for move-out rent?
Yes. Enter the number of days owed for the final partial period and the day count used by the lease or invoice.
