Rent Increase Impact Calculator

See what a proposed rent change adds to monthly and annual collected income before you send a notice.

Written by Johana Williams  •  Reviewed by: Peter Evering  •  Last updated: September 11, 2026

A rent change is easier to assess when the dollars are separated from the percentage. Enter the present rent and the proposed rent, then see the difference across the number of units and the vacancy and management assumptions you actually use.

This tool calculates the financial impact only. It does not determine whether an increase is permitted, what notice is required, or whether a local ordinance adds a condition. Check the law page for the state and city before serving anything.

The proposed change

This calculates the financial impact of the proposed rent only. It does not determine whether the increase is allowed or what notice is required.

Look beyond the monthly difference

A $75 change can look small on one unit and become meaningful across a small portfolio. It can also be offset by vacancy, a leasing cycle or an avoided renewal. The result is a budgeting view, not a reason to assume that every increase will be collected for every month.

Check the local rule separately

Rent caps, notice periods and relocation rules move by state and city. The calculator deliberately does not turn a proposed amount into legal advice. Use the current source for the location, then have a qualified professional review a notice that matters.

Frequently asked questions

Does this calculator tell me the maximum legal rent increase? +

No. It only calculates the financial effect of the rent you enter. Maximum increases and notice rules depend on the property and its current state and local law.

Why does the result use vacancy? +

A proposed rent is not the same as collected rent. The vacancy allowance lets you test the result against a period when the unit is not producing rent.

Does the management fee apply before or after vacancy? +

The calculator applies the entered percentage to estimated collected rent after the vacancy allowance, which is the usual way a percentage-of-rent management fee is modelled.

Can I use this for several units? +

Yes. Enter the number of comparable units and the rent change per unit. For a mixed portfolio, run each rent band separately rather than blending unlike units.
