Enter the total rent ($) and the percent of sales rent ($) into the calculator to determine the Base Rent.

## Base Rent Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Base Rent.

Rbase = TR – POSR

• Where Rbase is the Base Rent ($) • TR is the total rent ($)
• POSR is the percent of sales rent ($) ## How to Calculate Base Rent? The following example problems outline how to calculate Base Rent. Example Problem #1: 1. First, determine the total rent ($). In this example, the total rent ($) is given as 7000. 2. Next, determine the percent of sales rent ($). For this problem, the percent of sales rent ($) is given as 5000. 3. Finally, calculate the Base Rent using the equation above: Rbase = TR – POSR The values given above are inserted into the equation below: Rbase = 7000 – 5000 = 2000 ($)

Example Problem #2:

The variables needed for this problem are provided below:

total rent ($) = 8000 percent of sales rent ($) = 3000

Entering these values and solving gives:

Rbase = 8000 – 3000 = 5000 (\$)
