Leasing
How do I convert rent per square foot into a monthly payment?
When the quote is annual, multiply the leased square footage by the annual rate, then divide by 12. Confirm the quoting period first.

Work through the decision
Use the square footage that will appear in the lease, which may differ from the usable area you measured. Calculate base rent and additional per-square-foot charges separately so each assumption remains visible.
Questions to bring to the conversation
- Confirm annual versus monthly pricing.
- Confirm the area used for billing.
- Ask about scheduled rent increases.
