1. What is Prorated Rent?

Prorated rent (Urdu: "تناسب سے کرایہ") calculates the amount of rent owed when a tenant occupies a property for only part of a rental period (month). It ensures fair payment for partial occupancy.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the prorated rent equation:

Where:

• Monthly Rent — Total rent amount for full month
• Days Occupied — Number of days the tenant will occupy the property
• Days in Month — Total days in the specific month (usually 30 or 31)

Explanation: The equation calculates a proportional rent amount based on the actual days of occupancy.

3. Importance of Prorated Rent Calculation

Details: Prorated rent ensures fairness for both landlords and tenants when leases begin or end mid-month. It's commonly used for move-in/move-out situations.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the monthly rent amount, number of days the property will be occupied, and total days in the month (default is 30). All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: When is prorated rent typically used?
A: Most commonly when a tenant moves in or moves out mid-month, or when a lease starts/ends mid-month.

Q2: How are partial days counted?
A: Typically, any day the tenant has access counts as a full day. Check local laws for specific rules.

Q3: What if the month has 31 days but I use 30?
A: Using 30 days will slightly favor the landlord, while 31 days favors the tenant. Most use 30 for simplicity.

Q4: Is prorated rent required by law?
A: Laws vary by location, but it's considered standard practice in most rental markets.

Q5: Can this be used for other prorated calculations?
A: Yes, the same formula works for utilities or other services billed monthly but used for partial periods.
