Rent increase calculator

Calculate a rent increase within a percentage or cap.

The short answer

$2,000 rent increased by 5% is $2,100 a month, $100 more a month and $1,200 more a year.

Rent increase

New rent = current rent × (1 + increase %), capped where a cap applies

New monthly rent
$2,100.00
Monthly increase
$100.00
Annual increase
$1,200.00
  • Check your state and local notice period and any cap before serving an increase.

  • 2000 × (1 + 5%) = 2100
Worked example

Assumptions
  • Percentage increases apply to the current contract rent, not to market rent.
  • Many states and cities cap increases and require advance written notice. This calculator does not know your local rule.

Every figure is calculated from the values you entered. Nothing is fetched from market data, and this is general information rather than financial, legal or tax advice.
