The 3 common rent proration methods explained

Actual days: monthly rent is divided by the selected month's 28, 29, 30, or 31 calendar days.

30-day commercial: every month is treated as 30 days, and dates on the 31st are treated as day 30.

Annual 365-day: monthly rent is annualized and divided by 365, then multiplied by actual occupied calendar days.

Before using the final amount

This calculator counts the selected handover day as billable and rounds only the displayed result. Confirm the lease's day-count convention, local law, deposit rules, and possession time.

For property-tax closings, use the applicable annual tax figure and follow the settlement statement's 365/366-day and closing-day rules.

Good questions. Clear answers.

What is the most legally accepted way to calculate prorated rent?

There is no single method accepted everywhere. Actual days in the month is common for residential rent, while some leases or jurisdictions use a 30-day method. The signed lease and applicable local law control, so confirm both before collecting or refunding money.

Does the move-in day count as a billable day of rent?

It commonly does when the tenant receives possession that day. This calculator counts the selected move-in or move-out date as billable. A lease, handover time, or local rule may specify otherwise.

How do you prorate rent in February during a leap year?

Under the actual-days method, divide monthly rent by 29 in a leap-year February and multiply by occupied days. The calculator detects 28- and 29-day Februaries automatically. The commercial method still uses 30 days.

Can property taxes be prorated using this same daily formula?

The daily-rate principle is similar, but tax prorations often use an annual bill, a 365- or 366-day year, jurisdiction-specific due dates, and a negotiated closing-day convention. Use the closing statement and local rules for the final adjustment.
