Methodology

Transparent assumptions first.

The calculators use simple formulas and user-entered values. They are built for planning, not live market scraping or professional appraisal work.

Rent estimate model

The rent estimate starts with a base price per square foot by property type, then adjusts for bedrooms, bathrooms, and condition. The result is shown as a range because local market variation can be significant.

Comparison model

The comparison tool calculates price per square foot for each rental and identifies the average rent, lowest rent, and highest rent in the manual set entered by the user.

What these tools do not do

They do not scrape listings, predict demand, verify legal rent rules, or replace professional real estate advice.

This tool provides estimates for planning purposes only and does not replace professional real estate advice.
