Using this rent calculator is really as straight forward as it gets. Enter the amount you’d typically see on a paycheck i.e. what you get paid after taxes and other deductions, select how often you get paid, choose how many roommates you’re going to have, and finally at the bottom of that first little brown box hit the ‘calculate rent’ button. If your deductions all pile up on one paycheck than just enter what you’d typically see in any given month instead.

For best results: Use this rent calculator multiple times to find a range of what you can afford.
