Free Prorated Rent Calculator for Property Managers & Landlords

Prorated rent is the partial amount of rent charged to a tenant when they occupy a property for less than a full month. Instead of paying for a full 30 or 31 days, the tenant only pays for the exact number of days they hold possession of the property.

You should charge prorated rent whenever a tenant moves in after the first day of the rent cycle or moves out before the final day of the rent cycle. This ensures the tenant is fairly charged only for the days they actually occupy the unit.

To prorate rent for a partial month, divide the full monthly rent by the total number of days in the month (or by 30 if using the standard method), then multiply that daily rate by the number of days the tenant will occupy the unit. Our free partial month rent calculator handles this math automatically.

Standard 30-Day Month: The most common method. Assumes every month has 30 days, creating a consistent daily rate year-round.
Actual Days in Month: Calculates the daily rate based on the exact number of days in that specific month (28, 29, 30, or 31).

Always check your lease agreement and local laws, as they may dictate which method you are required to use.
