## Manual rent calculations are error-prone

Rent escalation math seems simple until you factor in compounding, partial months, and abatement periods. One mistake cascades through the entire lease term.

1.  ### Compounding errors
    
    A small rounding mistake in year one compounds through every subsequent year of a 10-year lease.
    
2.  ### Hours of spreadsheet work
    
    Deal teams spend hours building custom Excel models for every new lease, then rebuild them for every amendment.
    
3.  ### Inconsistent formats
    
    Every attorney has their own spreadsheet. Different formulas, different rounding rules, different presentation formats.
    

## What you can calculate

1.  ### Fixed % escalations
    
    Annual increases at a fixed percentage, the most common escalation structure in commercial leases.
    
2.  ### Dollar-amount escalations
    
    Fixed $/SF/year increases applied at regular intervals, easy to verify against the lease.
    
3.  ### Stepped rent schedules
    
    Pre-defined rent amounts for each year of the term, common in retail and long-term office leases.
    
4.  ### Option term modeling
    
    Multiple renewal options with independent rent structures, escalations, and abatement, in one schedule.
    
5.  ### Abatement periods
    
    Free rent or reduced rent periods at the beginning of the term, with proper schedule integration.
    
6.  ### Pro-rata partial months
    
    Accurate calculations when lease commencement doesn't align with the first of the month.
