How the math works
Gross sales rent = max(% of sales, floor). Common in mall kiosks, pop-ups, and short-term licenses.
LLs always want a floor; tenants push for pure %. Compromise is a modest floor with escalating % above breakpoint.
How to Use
- Enter gross annual sales.
- Enter percentage rent rate.
- Enter minimum rent floor (optional).
- Read gross sales rent.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is % of sales used?
Pop-ups, kiosks, mall carts, food trucks, and short-term licenses. Tenant pays pure share of revenue — no base. LL gets upside but bears downside risk.
What rate?
Carts/kiosks: 10-25% of gross. Pop-ups (30-90 day): 15-30%. Licensed concessions: 8-20%. Lower for high-volume categories, higher for low-volume.
Is a floor common?
Yes — LLs often require a minimum monthly rent to avoid zero-rent months. Tenant pays the greater of floor or % of sales.
What documentation matters here?
Written leases, move-in/move-out inspections with photographs, ledger entries showing every payment and charge, served notices with proof of service, and contemporaneous emails or texts. Courts weigh written evidence heavily; informal understandings rarely stand. Institutional operators run a monthly file audit to catch gaps before they matter. Good paper trails recover most of what's owed.
