Percentage Rent Uplift Calculator
When tenant sales exceed breakpoint, the LL collects percentage rent. This calculator sizes the annual uplift across a tenant base.
Percentage rent owed
$25,000
Total rent (base + overage)
$125,000
Sales over breakpoint
$500,000
How the math works
Percentage rent = (actual sales − breakpoint) × rate. A tenant with $500k over breakpoint at 5% rate pays $25k of overage rent.
Institutional LLs love % rent because it captures market upside. Tenants hate it but accept it in prime locations where LL holds leverage.
How to Use
- Enter actual annual sales.
- Enter breakpoint.
- Enter percentage rent rate.
- Read overage rent and % rent total.
Frequently Asked Questions
How common is % rent today?
Common in grocery-anchored retail, mall inline, restaurant pads. Less common in power centers and industrial. Typical rates 3-8% of overage.
Does LL audit tenant sales?
Yes — lease includes audit rights. LL hires a retail accountant annually. If sales under-reported, tenant pays back-rent plus audit costs. Strong lease = zero tolerance for underreporting.
What if tenant refuses?
Default. LL can accelerate rent, collect security deposit, terminate. Audit clauses include teeth. Don't let a tenant stall or LL collection weakens permanently.
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.
