Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is net effective rent?
Net effective rent is the actual cost of renting a property after accounting for discounts, rent-free months, and any allowances or additional expenses. It gives a more accurate picture of the financial impact of a lease compared to the nominal rent amount.
Why is net effective rent important?
Net effective rent is important because it reflects the true cost of renting a property. It includes discounts and allowances that affect the total rent paid over the lease term, helping tenants and landlords make better financial decisions.
How is net effective rent calculated?
Net effective rent is calculated using the formula: NER = 12 × [ BR × ( Term − N ) − TA − OC × Term ] / Term. Here, BR is base rent, Term is lease term, N is rent-free months, TA is tenant cash allowance, and OC is operating costs.
Can operating costs be expressed as a percentage?
Yes, operating costs can be expressed as a percentage of the monthly rent. The calculator will convert this percentage into a dollar amount to include it in the net effective rent calculation.
What should I do if my rent includes utilities?
If your rent includes utilities, you should consider these costs separately when calculating net effective rent. Ensure you account for them in your budget, even though they may not affect the base rent calculation directly.
How do rent-free months affect the calculation?
Rent-free months reduce the total rent paid over the lease term. They are subtracted from the lease term in the net effective rent calculation, resulting in a lower effective rent amount per month.
Is the net effective rent the same as the market rent?
No, net effective rent may differ from market rent. Market rent is the nominal rent without discounts or allowances, while net effective rent factors in these elements to provide a more accurate representation of rental costs.
