Question 7

HOW IS RENT CALCULATED?

Accepted Answer

Rent Calculation Explained

Rent is calculated based on the weekly rate. Here’s how we work it out:

• Convert weekly rent to daily rate
 e.g. $360 ÷ 7 = $51.43 per day

• Multiply by the number of days in the year
    • Regular year: $51.43 × 365 = $18,771.43
    • Leap year: $51.43 × 366 = $18,822.86

• Divide by 12 to get the monthly rent
 e.g. $18,771.43 ÷ 12 = $1,564.28 per month
