1. What is the Rent Estimate Calculator?

The Rent Estimate Calculator provides an estimated monthly rental price for a property based on comparable properties in the area, adjusted for key features and conditions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• Comparable Rent — Actual rent of similar properties in the area
• Feature Adjustments — Multipliers for bedroom count and property condition

Explanation: The calculator averages comparable rents after adjusting them for differences in key features between your property and the comparables.

3. Importance of Rent Estimation

Details: Accurate rent estimation helps landlords price competitively, helps tenants evaluate fair pricing, and is essential for property investment analysis.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter at least 3 comparable rents from similar properties in your area. Adjust for differences in bedrooms and condition. More comparables will yield more accurate results.
