Lease-wide average

Effective monthly rent

Stated rent, concession value, net lease total, and effective average remain separate.

Stated monthly rent
$2,000.00
Gross lease total
$24,000.00
Concession value
$2,000.00
Net lease total
$22,000.00
Effective monthly average$1,833.33Exact basis: 2200000 cents ÷ 12 months

Formula

$24,000.00 gross lease total − $2,000.00 concession = $22,000.00 net lease total; $22,000.00 ÷ 12 months = $1,833.33 effective monthly rent

Result boundary

The advertised or stated rent remains $2,000.00 per month for 12 months. The explicit concession is 1 rent-free month, valued at $2,000.00. The net lease total is $22,000.00, and the effective monthly average rounds to $1,833.33. This calculator does not create a payment schedule or determine lease, accounting, tax, or legal treatment.

Rent concession formula

Gross lease total= stated monthly rent × lease term
Effective monthly rent= (gross lease total − concession value) ÷ lease term

Example: $2,000 stated rent over 12 months produces a $24,000 gross lease total. One rent-free month is a $2,000 concession, leaving a $22,000 net lease total and a rounded effective average of $1,833.33 per month.

Keep the five values distinct

Stated monthly rent
The positive monthly amount entered before applying the concession.
Gross lease total
Stated monthly rent multiplied by the positive whole-number lease term.
Concession value
The value of the entered rent-free months or one fixed concession.
Net lease total
The gross lease total minus the explicit concession value.
Effective monthly rent
The net lease total divided across the complete lease term as a rounded average.

Accepted concession shapes

RentSplit supports the smallest explicit shapes needed for common calculations: whole rent-free months or one fixed amount. Rent-free months must be a non-negative integer no greater than the lease term. A fixed amount must be non-negative, whole-cent representable, and no greater than the gross lease total.

Multiple promotions, percentage discounts, staged credits, recurring partial-month discounts, and conditional offers remain outside this calculator.

Limitations

The effective amount is a mathematical average across the lease term. It does not say which month is free, change the stated rent, create a ledger, model deposits or fees, decide accounting or tax treatment, or interpret the enforceability of an offer.

Rent concession FAQ

Which concession types does this calculator accept?

It accepts either a non-negative whole number of rent-free months or one non-negative fixed concession amount. The calculator applies only one type at a time.

What is effective monthly rent?

It is the net lease total after the explicit concession divided by the positive integer lease term, rounded to the nearest whole cent.

Does effective rent replace the stated monthly rent?

No. The stated monthly rent remains a separate advertised or contractual input. Effective monthly rent is a lease-wide average after the entered concession.

Can a concession exceed the gross lease total?

No. Rent-free months cannot exceed the lease term, and a fixed concession cannot exceed the gross lease total.

Does the calculator create a payment schedule?

No. It does not allocate discounts to particular payments, model accounting or taxes, amortize amounts, or interpret lease terms.
