1. What is the Rent Calculation?

The rent calculation estimates the appropriate rent for a property by multiplying a comparable rent by an adjustment factor that accounts for property differences.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the rent equation:

Where:

• \( Comparable\ Rent \) — Market rent for similar properties (currency/month)
• \( Adjustment\ Factor \) — Factor accounting for property differences (unitless)

Explanation: The equation adjusts comparable market rents based on specific property characteristics to determine an appropriate rent.

3. Importance of Rent Calculation

Details: Accurate rent estimation is crucial for property owners to set competitive yet profitable rental prices that reflect the property's unique features.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter comparable rent in your local currency per month and the adjustment factor (typically between 0.8 and 1.2). Both values must be positive numbers.

Q4: Are there limitations to this calculation?
