Percentage Rent Calculator for Retail Leases

Enter lease terms and tenant sales, find the breakpoint and your cut.

Published August 7, 2026 · By Mark Kvetkovskiy, CCIM

A brass cash register and stocked shelves at a neighborhood retail counter, the sales a percentage rent is based on.

If the lease states a breakpoint, that one governs. Gross sales is whatever the lease says it is.

  1. The line they have to clear

    $0.00

    Put in the base rent and the rate. That sets the sales line.

  2. What they sold past it

    $0.00

    Add the sales the tenant reported for the year.

  3. Your cut

    $0.00

    Your share of the sales above the line.

Base rent + percentage rent
