AMI Rent Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the AMI Rent.
Rami = AMI * R/100
- Where Rami is the AMI rent amount ($) for the same time period as the AMI used
- AMI is the area median income ($)
- R is the percentage of AMI used for rent (%)
To calculate the AMI rent amount, multiply the AMI by the rent percentage and divide by 100. If AMI is annual and you need a monthly rent amount, divide the result by 12.
How to Calculate AMI Rent?
The following example problems outline how to calculate AMI Rent.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the area median income (AMI) amount. In this example, the area median income (AMI) is given as 5000.
- Next, determine the percentage of AMI as rent (%). For this problem, the percentage of AMI as rent (%) is given as 30.
- Finally, calculate the AMI Rent using the equation above:
Rami = AMI * R/100
The values given above are inserted into the equation below:
Rami = 5000 * 30/100 = 1500.00 ($)
Example Problem #2:
The variables needed for this problem are provided below:
area median income (AMI) = 6000
percentage of AMI as rent (%) = 40
Entering these values and solving gives:
Rami = 6000 * 40/100 = 2400 ($)
