## You've been checking the math yourself. Every single time.

You know the drill. Build the rent schedule in Excel. Copy it into Word. Triple-check the escalation math. Make sure the compounding is on last year's actual rent, not the original base. Pray nobody changes the commencement date after you're done.

And the thing is, you're good at this. But Excel doesn't tell you when a formula breaks. It doesn't flag that the rent schedule says $25.75/SF but the rent clause still says $25.00. These mistakes hide. They survive review. They get signed.

    ### The spreadsheet shuffle
    
    Build the schedule in Excel. Copy it into Word. Deal terms change? Rebuild the schedule, recalculate the proration, update every cross-reference. Hope you caught everything.
    
2.  02
    
    ### The formula gamble
    
    \=B5\*1.03 looks right. But did you compound on last year's actual rent, not the original base? Did you update the base year? Excel doesn't tell you when a formula breaks.
    
3.  03
    
    ### The rework cycle
    
    Broker calls: 'Make it a 10-year term instead.' That means rebuilding the entire schedule, updating every escalation date, every option deadline, every cross-reference. Twenty minutes if you're fast.
    

## Calculations that are always correct

Three types of calculations, all built into the document. You enter the deal terms, the engine handles the rest.

§ 03.A

### Rent & Escalations

Enter base rent and escalation terms once. LeasePilot generates the complete schedule, annual and monthly, per-SF and aggregate, with abatement and proration handled automatically.

-   Fixed, CPI, or stepped escalations
-   Abatement periods reflected correctly
-   Compounding on prior-year rent
-   Pro-rata for partial periods

§ 03.B

### Dates & Deadlines

Change the commencement date and everything downstream updates. Expiration, escalation dates, option deadlines, renewal windows. You change one date. That's it.

-   Lease expiration calculated
-   Option notice deadlines
-   Escalation and renewal dates
-   TI completion deadlines

§ 03.C

### Financial Terms

Percentage rent breakpoints, CAM reconciliation, TI allowances, pro-rata share, security deposit schedules, every financial calculation your lease requires.

-   Percentage rent breakpoints
-   CAM caps and gross-up
-   TI allowance and amortization
-   Pro-rata share and deposits

## Change one date. Everything recalculates.

### The commencement date

In a Word lease, changing the commencement means finding and updating dozens of calculated deadlines, hoping you caught them all. In LeasePilot, you change one date. That's it.

Cascades into

1.  01Lease expiration
2.  02Every escalation date
3.  03Option notice deadlines
4.  04Renewal windows
5.  05First month proration
6.  06Abatement end date
7.  07TI completion deadline
8.  08Rent schedule amounts
9.  09Every cross-reference

Not because you checked. Because the system doesn't work any other way.

## The numbers aren't “probably right.” They're right.

Spreadsheets

### Hide errors

A rent schedule in Excel is only as good as the person who built it. Change one input and you might break a formula three tabs away. No validation, no automatic recalculation, no connection to the document.

AI tools

### Guess

Ask an AI to calculate a 10-year rent schedule with 3% compounding and a 4-month abatement. You'll get numbers that look right. They might even be right. But you'll check them anyway, which defeats the purpose.

LeasePilot

### Calculates

The engine does the math. The same way, every time. The rent schedule matches the rent clause matches the estoppel. Change the term, the dates update. Change the commencement, the proration recalculates. You don't check the numbers. You don't need to.

## “Can you run this with a 7-year term instead?”

With spreadsheets

1.  01
    
    Open Excel, find the rent schedule.
    
2.  02
    
    Add two more rows, extend the formulas.
    
3.  03
    
    Double-check all the references copied correctly.
    
4.  04
    
    Update the total formula.
    
5.  05
    
    Copy to Word, reformat the table.
    
6.  06
    
    Find and update every date reference in the document.
    
7.  07
    
    Hope you didn't miss anything.
    

20 to 30 minutes. Error-prone.
