How this calculator works

Method

Annual $/sq ft × rentable area ÷ 12 gives monthly base rent. Annual escalations start at each 12-month anniversary. Initial free months waive base rent only unless you select pass-through waiver. Deposits and their assumed return are cash events, not rent expense.
