How a rent increase works
A rent increase is a percent rise on your rent. A landlord lifts the rate at renewal. So your monthly payment goes up. The rise is set as a percent. A common increase is three to five percent. This tool puts a number on it.
How it is calculated
The tool takes your current rent. It works out the rise at your percent. It then adds that to the rent. So a higher percent lifts it more. The result is your new rent. The calculator works it out for you.
What the result tells you
The result shows your new rent. A fifteen hundred rent with a five percent rise becomes fifteen seventy-five. A higher percent raises it. A bigger base rent raises it too. So it shows your next payment. It is an easy number to read.
The current rent

The increase rate
Your increase rate is the percent rise. It is the figure on your renewal notice. A higher percent lifts the new rent. So this number drives the jump. Use the rate your landlord gives. Some areas cap how much it can be. Enter your increase rate.
The increase amount
The tool also shows the increase amount. It is the extra you pay each month. Here it is seventy-five on a fifteen hundred rent. So you see the rise in plain dollars. A higher percent lifts it. It is the gap you now pay.
What counts as a fair increase
