Accelerated Rent Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the missing variable in a basic accelerated rent calculation (the gross/undiscounted rent accelerated for the remaining term).
R_a = R_m \times M
Variables:
- Ra is the accelerated rent amount (rent that becomes due now)
- Rm is the monthly rent
- M is the number of months remaining
To calculate accelerated rent, multiply the monthly rent by the number of months remaining. Conversely, to find the monthly rent or the months remaining, you can rearrange the formula accordingly. Note: actual accelerated rent owed can depend on the lease terms and applicable law (for example, mitigation of damages and whether the amount is discounted to present value).
What is Accelerated Rent?
Accelerated rent generally refers to rent that becomes immediately due earlier than originally scheduled, typically because an acceleration clause in a lease is triggered (often after a tenant default). In practice, the “accelerated” amount is often based on the rent that would otherwise come due over the remaining lease term, though the enforceable amount can vary depending on lease language and local law (including requirements to mitigate damages).
How to Calculate Accelerated Rent?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Accelerated Rent.
- First, determine the monthly rent (Rm).
- Next, determine the number of months remaining (M) that would be accelerated.
- Finally, calculate the accelerated rent amount (Ra) using the formula Ra = Rm × M.
- After inserting the values and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Monthly rent (Rm) = $1200
Months remaining (M) = 12
Accelerated rent amount (Ra) = 1200 × 12 = $14,400
