Show the arithmetic
  • Monthly fee: 2000 × 8% = 160
  • Leasing fees: 2000 × 50% × 0 = 0
  • Annual total: 160 × 12 + 0 = 1920
Worked example

$2,000 rent at an 8% fee is $160 a month, and one leasing fee at half a month's rent adds $1,000 — $2,920 a year.

Assumptions
  • Percentage fees are normally charged on rent collected, not rent charged — an unpaid month usually earns no fee.
  • A leasing fee is expressed here as a share of one month's rent.

Every figure is calculated from the values you entered. Nothing is fetched from market data, and this is general information rather than financial, legal or tax advice.
