Commercial Lease Calculator
Turn a quoted $/sq ft/year rate into monthly rent and lease totals.
Commercial space is almost always quoted as a rate per square foot per year, which makes it hard to picture your actual monthly check. This calculator does the conversion.
Enter the quoted annual rate and the leasable area to get monthly and annual rent, and add your lease term to project the total cost over the whole contract.
How it works
Follow the exact steps to get your result instantly and privately.
Step 1: Decode the Quoted Rate
Commercial brokers speak their own language, quoting rates in dollars per square foot per year. It's confusing by design. Enter that annual rate here and we'll translate it into a number you can actually understand.
Step 2: Add the Leasable Area
Input the rentable square footage of the commercial space. Whether it's a small retail storefront or a massive warehouse, the size is the multiplier that reveals your true financial commitment.
Step 3: Project the Total Lease
Add your lease term length and instantly see your exact monthly rent, annual rent, and total cost over the entire contract. Walk into your lease negotiations fully informed and in control.
