Enter the total cost of house sitting ($) and the number of days of house sitting needed into the House Sitting Rate Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the House Sitting Rate. 

House Sitting Rate Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the House Sitting Rate.

HSR = HSC / D
  • Where HSR is the House Sitting Rate ($/day)
  • HSC is the total cost of house sitting ($) 
  • D is the number of days of house sitting needed 

To calculate house sitting rate, divide the total cost of the house sitting by the number of days.

How to Calculate House Sitting Rate?

The following example problems outline how to calculate House Sitting Rate.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total cost of house sitting ($).
    • The total cost of house sitting ($) is given as: 5,000.
  2. Next, determine the number of days of house sitting needed.
    • The number of days of house sitting needed is provided as: 10.
  3. Finally, calculate the House Sitting Rate using the equation above: 

HSR = HSC / #D

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

HSR = 5,000 / 10 = 500.00 ($/day)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

total cost of house sitting ($) = 600

number of days of house sitting needed = 5

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..
