1. What is Prorated Daily Rent?

Prorated daily rent is the amount calculated when a tenant occupies a property for only part of a month. It ensures fair payment based on the actual days of occupancy rather than the full monthly rent.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• Monthly Rent — The full monthly rental amount
• Days in Month — Total days in the month (typically 28-31)

Explanation: The formula divides the monthly rent by the number of days in the month to determine the daily rate.

3. Importance of Prorated Rent Calculation

Details: Accurate prorated rent calculation is crucial for fair transactions when tenants move in or out mid-month, ensuring both landlords and tenants pay/receive the correct amount.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the monthly rent amount and the number of days in the month (usually 30 or 31). The calculator will determine the daily rate.
