Enter the total monthly income ($) and the RTI (rent-to-income) ratio into the calculator to determine the Landlord Rent. 

Landlord Rent Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Landlord Rent. 

R = MI * RTI 

  • Where R is the Landlord Rent ($)
  • MI is the total monthly income ($) 
  • RTI is the RTI (rent-to-income) ratio 

How to Calculate Landlord Rent?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Landlord Rent.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total monthly income ($). In this example, the total monthly income ($) is given as 8000.
  2. Next, determine the RTI (rent-to-income) ratio. For this problem, the RTI (rent-to-income) ratio is given as .45.
  3. Finally, calculate the Landlord Rent using the equation above: 

R = MI * RTI 

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

R = 8000 * .45  = 3600 ($)


Example Problem #2: 

The variables needed for this problem are provided below:

total monthly income ($) = 9000

RTI (rent-to-income) ratio = .5

Entering these values and solving gives:

R = 9000 * .5  = 4500 ($)
