Formula

$3,100.00 ÷ 31 days × 22 occupied days = $2,200.00

What the dates mean

The selected billing period runs from 2026-07-01 through 2026-07-31 and contains 31 calendar days. Occupancy runs from 2026-07-10 through 2026-07-31, including both dates, for 22 days. Using actual calendar days, the rounded prorated amount is $2,200.00. This formula does not decide what a lease or local rule requires.

Actual-days proration formula

Prorated rent= billing-period rent ÷ total period days × occupied days

If July 1 through July 31 is the selected period, the denominator is 31. Occupying July 10 through July 31 counts 22 days because both endpoints are included. For $3,100, the calculation is $3,100 ÷ 31 × 22 = $2,200.

Date-only and inclusive-day contract

  • Every input is a real Gregorian date written as year, month, and day.
  • The billing start and end are included in the total period.
  • The occupied start and end are included in the occupied-day count.
  • Occupied dates must remain fully inside the selected billing period.
  • Calendar dates are converted through UTC date-only arithmetic, so local time zones and daylight-saving transitions do not change the day count.

Rounding and identity checks

The final amount uses the same deterministic integer-cent allocation authority as the other RentSplit formulas. A whole-period occupancy always returns the complete selected rent. A one-day occupancy remains one share out of the actual period-day count, with the final result rounded once to whole cents.

Limitations

This route applies one explicit actual-calendar-day formula. It does not select a legal convention, infer rent from a monthly lease, exclude weekends, build a payment schedule, or decide when possession began or ended.

Confirm the billing period, occupancy dates, and required convention with the relevant agreement before relying on the result.

Prorated rent FAQ

Does the calculator always assume a 30-day month?

No. It counts the actual calendar days between the selected billing-period start and end, including both dates.

Are the move-in and move-out dates included?

Yes. Occupied start and occupied end are inclusive. A single occupied date counts as one day.

Can the billing period cross a month or year boundary?

Yes. The selected start and end can cross month or year boundaries. The calculation uses date-only calendar arithmetic and handles leap days.

Why might a raw daily rate have more than two decimals?

The daily rate is an explanatory division of total rent by billing-period days. The final prorated amount is allocated and rounded once to whole cents so it remains exact and reproducible.

Does this formula determine what a lease requires?

No. It reports the selected actual-days formula. A lease, local rule, or agreement may specify another convention.
