Calculadora de Escalamiento de Renta Comercial — Fórmula

Commercial Rent Escalation

Rent escalation clauses in commercial leases specify how and when the base rent increases over the lease term. They protect the landlord against inflation and rising costs.

Common Escalation Types

  • Fixed percentage: Rent increases by a set percentage annually (most common: 2-4%)
  • Fixed dollar: Rent increases by a specific dollar amount each year
  • CPI-based: Rent adjusts based on the Consumer Price Index (may have a floor and cap)
  • Step increases: Predetermined increases at specific intervals (every 3 or 5 years)

    • Free Rent Concessions

    Landlords often offer 1-3 months of free rent to attract tenants. This reduces the effective rent for the first year but does not affect the base for future escalations.

    Effective Rent Calculation

    The average annual rent over the entire lease term is a useful comparison metric when evaluating proposals from different buildings with different escalation structures.

    Ejemplo Resuelto

    $72,000 annual base rent, 3% annual escalation, 10-year lease, with 2 months free rent in year 1.

    1. Year 1 actual rent: $72,000 x (12 - 2) / 12 = $60,000
    2. Year 2 rent: $72,000 x 1.03 = $74,160
    3. Final year (10) rent: $72,000 x 1.03^9 = $93,963
    4. Total rent escalation: $93,963 - $72,000 = $21,963
    5. Total lease rent: approximately $825,182 - $12,000 = $813,182
    6. Average annual: $813,182 / 10 = $81,318
    7. Free rent value: $72,000 x 2/12 = $12,000
