New Rent After 10 Years:

1. What is the Rent Increase Calculator?

The Rent Increase Calculator projects how much your rent will increase over a 10-year period based on a consistent annual percentage increase. This helps tenants and landlords plan for future housing costs.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the compound growth formula:

\[ \text{New Rent} = \text{Old Rent} \times (1 + \text{Rate}/100)^{10} \]

Where:

Old Rent — Current rental amount
Rate — Annual percentage increase rate
10 — Number of years for projection

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound growth, where each year's increase is applied to the previous year's rent amount.

3. Importance of Rent Projections

Details: Understanding potential rent increases helps with long-term budgeting, lease negotiations, and financial planning for both tenants and property owners.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current rent amount and the expected annual percentage increase. The calculator will show the projected rent after 10 years of consistent increases.
