Common questions
What does "worth today" mean?
Rent paid years from now is worth less than cash in hand, because cash can earn a return in the meantime. The calculator assumes you could earn 7% a year. You can change that under More options.
Does the result include tax?
No. The amount you keep is shown before tax. A lump-sum buyout can be taxed differently from rent, so ask your tax advisor before you compare the two.
What if my lease has renewal options?
Run it twice: once for the years left in the current term, and once including the renewals you expect the tenant to use. The gap between the two shows what the options are worth to you.
