Rent increase calculator

How much can your landlord raise your rent? Work out the increase in dollars, percent, and per year — then check whether your US state caps it.

Is there a legal cap where you live?

US only. Optional — skip this if you just wanted the numbers above.

Even where no legal cap exists, landlords in nearly every US state must give written notice before a rent increase takes effect, and an increase can't legally be used to retaliate against a tenant for exercising a legal right — like reporting a habitability issue. Notice-period rules vary by state and lease type and aren't covered by this calculator.
