How We Calculated This

See full methodology
  1. Add first month rent, deposits, prorated rent, and each fee line item.
  2. Show each amount separately so the total can be copied into a quote or tenant message.
  3. Use the result as a planning figure and confirm the final ledger before collection.

Example

A tenant owes $1,700 for first month rent, a $1,700 deposit, $620 prorated rent, and $150 in other fees.

  1. Add rent and deposit: $1,700 + $1,700 = $3,400.
  2. Add prorated rent: $3,400 + $620 = $4,020.
  3. Add fees: $4,020 + $150 = $4,170 total due at move-in.

Assumptions

  • This estimate does not replace the lease or move-in ledger.
  • Taxes, utility transfers, or one-off local fees may apply separately.
  • Enter zero for any line items that do not apply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I include prorated rent and full rent together?

Only if both are due at move-in under the lease terms. Some landlords collect just prorated rent first, while others collect prorated rent plus the next full month.

Can I leave unused fields blank?

Yes. Blank or zero-value fields are treated as zero in the estimate.

Does this include recurring charges?

No. This is designed for up-front move-in cash due, not future monthly recurring charges.
