Rent Rebate Formula

RR = MR × Rr / 100

Variables:

  • RR is the Rent Rebate ($)
  • MR is the monthly rent ($)
  • Rr is the rebate rate (%)

To calculate Rent Rebate, multiply the monthly rent by the rebate rate over 100. Select an explicit solve mode for either inverse. Net effective rent averages concessions across the lease term; the optional broker percentage uses one month of gross rent, and other fees are one-time amounts. Prorated rent uses actual days in the move month and includes the move date.
