By amount: the increase percentage is the difference divided by current rent.
- 3
Annual impact is the monthly difference times 12.
Many states and cities limit how much and how often rent can rise, and require written notice. Verify the current local rules. This calculator gives an estimate for planning only. It is not financial, tax or legal advice.
Before the notice goes out.
How much can I raise the rent?
It depends on where the property is. Some states and cities cap increases or limit how often rent can rise, and most require written notice in advance. Check the current local rules before you send a notice.
Is it better to raise rent by a percentage or a fixed amount?
Either works. A percentage keeps increases in proportion across units; a fixed amount is easier to explain. The calculator shows both directions so you can compare.
Can TenantLoop schedule the new rent?
Yes. A rent change is set on the lease with its start date, and charges use the new amount from then on. The Lease Renewal agent on Premium can also draft renewal offers for you to approve.
Is the result advice?
No. It is an estimate for planning, using only the numbers you type. Nothing is saved or sent anywhere; the calculation runs in your browser.
