A rental calculator is a digital tool designed to estimate monthly rent, simulate periodic adjustments based on official inflation indices, and verify that housing costs align sustainably with your household budget.
Multiply the rental rate per square meter by the property's usable floor area, as indicated on the title deed or appraisal report.
Monthly Rent = Rate per m² × Usable Area (m²) Rental rates per square meter vary by neighborhood and property condition. Major portals provide benchmark market rates.
Example: an 80 m² apartment at 16.5 €/m² results in an estimated monthly rent of 80 × 16.5 = 1,320 €/month (15,840 €/year).
Usable area (m²) reflects interior living space, excluding structural partitions and common areas, as recorded in official property registries.
Rent revisions follow the specific index stated in the lease agreement, such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
New Rent = Current Rent × (1 + CPI Rate / 100) For a 1,000 €/month rent with a 3.4% CPI increase, the new monthly rent is 1,034 €/month (1,000 × 1.034), an increase of 34 €/month (408 €/year).
Housing regulations may set mandatory caps on annual revisions in designated high-demand rental zones.
Landlords must provide written notification of rent adjustments at least 30 days prior to implementation.
