Accelerated Rent Formula
The accelerated rent calculation is based on the unpaid rent for the remaining lease term. Select the value to solve for and enter the other two values. This gross estimate does not determine what is legally owed under a lease or local law.
- AR = accelerated rent amount, in dollars
- MR = monthly rent, in dollars per month
- M = months remaining on the lease
To calculate the accelerated rent amount, multiply the monthly rent by the number of months remaining.
To calculate the monthly rent, divide the accelerated rent amount by the months remaining.
To calculate the months remaining, divide the accelerated rent amount by the monthly rent.

FAQ
What is accelerated rent?
Accelerated rent is the total amount of future rent that becomes due at once, usually after a lease default if the lease allows it. In its simplest form, it equals the monthly rent multiplied by the number of months remaining on the lease.
Does accelerated rent always equal the full rent left on the lease?
Not always. The calculator gives the gross amount based only on rent and time remaining. The actual amount owed may be affected by the lease terms, local law, a landlord’s duty to mitigate damages, re-rental of the property, security deposit credits, or settlement terms.
Can months remaining include partial months?
Yes. If you need to include a partial month, enter it as a decimal. For example, 2.5 months at $2,000 per month gives an accelerated rent amount of $5,000.
