1. What is the Room Rental Calculator?

The Room Rental Calculator estimates the rental cost for a room in Australia based on the current market rate per square meter and the size of the room. This helps tenants and landlords determine fair rental prices.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Market\ Rate \) — Current rental rate per square meter (AUD/sq m)
• \( Room\ Size \) — Area of the room in square meters (sq m)

Explanation: The calculation multiplies the going rate for rental space by the size of the room to determine the total rental cost.

3. Importance of Rental Calculation

Details: Accurate rental calculations help both tenants budget appropriately and landlords set competitive yet profitable rental prices based on current market conditions.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the current market rate for rentals in your area (available from real estate websites) and the exact size of the room. Both values must be positive numbers.
