Prorated Rent Calculator (Partial Month)
Moving into a new apartment on the 15th? Don't pay for the full month. Pixedra’s Prorated Rent Calculator helps landlords and tenants determine the exact, fair amount due for a partial month of occupancy.
Whether you are moving in early, moving out late, or splitting rent with a roommate, our tool calculates the daily rate based on the specific number of days in the month (28, 30, or 31) to ensure every cent is accounted for.
The Prorated Rent Formula
There are two common ways to calculate partial rent. This tool uses the "Actual Days" method, which is the most accurate and fair.
(Monthly Rent ÷ Days in the Month) × Number of Days Occupied
Example (February Move-in):
- Rent: $2,000
- Days in Feb: 28
- Move-in Date: Feb 14 (Occupying 15 days)
- Calculation: ($2,000 ÷ 28) × 15 = $1,071.43
Why Days in the Month Matter?
Why is my prorated rent higher in February? Because February is a short month (28 days), the daily rate of your apartment is actually higher than in a 31-day month like March.
- February Daily Rate ($2k rent): $71.42 / day
- March Daily Rate ($2k rent): $64.51 / day
Our calculator automatically detects the specific month you select to ensure the math is legally accurate for lease agreements.
