In order to calculate the prorated rent amount you must take the total rent due, divide it by the number of days in the month to determine a daily rent amount. You then multiply the daily rent amount by the number of days the tenant will be occupying the property to generate the prorated amount for the partial month.

How is proportionate rent calculated?

To calculate the amount of prorated rent, you first need to determine a daily rent amount. To do so, you have to divide the total rent amount by the number of days in a month. Then you should multiply the obtained daily rent amount by the number of days you will be occupying the property in a certain month.

When prorating rent do you use 30 or 31 days?

For instance, in California, landlords must use the flat 30 days (banker's month) option. In Texas, prorated rent must be calculated by the exact number of days in that given month. Many states and regions have no regulation.
