1. What is NYCHA Rent Increase?

The NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) rent increase is calculated based on HUD-approved guidelines. This calculation determines how much a tenant's rent will increase based on the current rent and the approved percentage increase.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the NYCHA rent increase formula:

Where:

• Current NYCHA Rent — The tenant's current rent amount in USD
• HUD-Approved Increase Rate — The percentage increase approved by HUD

Explanation: The formula calculates the new rent by applying the percentage increase to the current rent amount.

3. Importance of Rent Increase Calculation

Details: Accurate rent increase calculation is crucial for both tenants and NYCHA to ensure proper budgeting and compliance with HUD regulations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter current NYCHA rent in USD and the HUD-approved increase rate as a percentage (e.g., enter 5 for 5%). Both values must be positive numbers.
