Introduction
Prorating rent ensures tenants pay only for the days they occupy a property when moving in or out mid-month. Use our calculator below to quickly determine prorated amounts for both move-in and move-out scenarios.

How It’s Calculated
We use the actual number of days in the selected month to find a daily rent rate:
- Daily Rent = Monthly Rent ÷ Days in that Month
- Move-In Charge = Daily Rent × (Days In Month − Move-In Day + 1)
- Move-Out Charge = Daily Rent × (Move-Out Day − 1)
Additional move-in costs (security deposit, pet fees, etc.) are simply added to the prorated rent to arrive at total move-in costs.
Examples
Here are a couple of quick examples to illustrate:
- Move-In on June 10th (30-day month), Rent = $1,200
- Days in June: 30
- Daily Rent = $1,200 ÷ 30 = $40.00
- Days Occupied = 30 − 10 + 1 = 21 days
- Prorated Rent = 21 × $40.00 = $840.00
- If Security Deposit = $500 and Other Fees = $100, Total Move-In = $840.00 + $500 + $100 = $1,440.00
- Move-Out on September 5th (30-day month), Rent = $1,500
- Days in September (2025): 30
- Daily Rent = $1,500 ÷ 30 = $50.00
- Days Charged = 5 − 1 = 4 days
- Prorated Rent = 4 × $50.00 = $200.00
