CAM Reconciliation Gap Calculator
CAM trues up annually. This calculator sizes gap.
Reconciliation gap
-$47,040
Tenant actual

Capped amount
$57,240
How the math works
Tenant actual = actual total × pro rata. Capped at estimate × (1 + cap%). Gap = capped actual − estimate.
Negotiate caps on CAM reconciliation for long-term leases. A 6% annual cap keeps CAM surprises manageable on stable assets, while uncapped CAM can surprise tenants with 15-30% year-over-year jumps — enough to trigger renegotiation or non-renewal.
How to Use
- Enter monthly CAM estimate.
- Enter actual annual CAM.
- Enter tenant pro-rata share %.
- Enter tenant cap %.
- Read reconciliation gap.
Frequently Asked Questions
CAM reconciliation?
Tenants pay monthly CAM estimate. Year-end, landlord totals actual CAM, reconciles against estimates. Over-collection: credit refund. Under-collection: tenant owes true-up. Statement required with invoices.
Audit rights?
Most leases allow tenant to audit CAM at landlord's expense (if errors found). Complex commercial leases often use 100% recovery + audit rights. Audit period 30-180 days after statement receipt typical.
Cap on increases?
Cumulative cap (5-10% annual over base year) limits year-over-year growth. Cap can be on controllable costs only (admin, payroll) excluding tax, insurance, utilities. Significant negotiation point on long leases.
When does a lender negotiate vs foreclose?
Lenders calculate their net recovery from foreclosure (asset value minus legal, time, and sale costs) and compare to any workout proposal. If your offer nets the lender more than foreclosure, and you present it with clear sources of capital, most lenders will engage. Bring a credible sponsor, documented sources, and a timeline — vague asks get declined. Build the relationship before distress, not after.
