Lease Escalation Calculator
Project annual rent growth and cumulative rent exposure across the full lease term.
How escalation is calculated
The calculator compounds rent year over year by multiplying each prior-year amount by 1 + escalation rate. It then reports monthly rent, annual rent, and cumulative rent so you can compare longer-term exposure instead of only the starting rate.
Common mistakes
- Applying escalation to the original base rent every year instead of compounding.
- Entering the escalation rate in decimal form when the field expects a percentage (for example 3, not 0.03).
- Using a fixed annual escalation model for leases that actually step, cap, floor, or tie increases to CPI.
