1. What is the Monthly Rent Calculator?

The Monthly Rent Calculator helps landlords in Nigeria determine their actual monthly rental income after accounting for annual expenses and applying a Nigeria-specific adjustment factor.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• Annual Rental Income — Total yearly rental income in NGN
• Annual Expenses — Total yearly property expenses in NGN
• Nigeria Adjustment — Factor accounting for local market conditions (typically 0.8-1.2)

Explanation: The formula first calculates net annual income, converts it to monthly, then applies a Nigeria-specific adjustment factor.

3. Importance of Accurate Rent Calculation

Details: Proper rent calculation helps Nigerian landlords understand their true cash flow, plan for expenses, and make informed property management decisions.
