Rent calculator for community housing providers
Our rent calculator helps you calculate rent for your tenants.
The rent calculator doesn't save tenant or household details – it only calculates rent.
We update the rent calculator regularly to reflect changes to Rent Assistance and Family Tax Benefit rates paid by Services Australia.
Before using the calculator, collect the details of assessable income for all household members.
The 2024 Community housing rent policy (PDF, 163KB) and 2024 guideline (PDF, 356KB) should be used in conjunction with the rent calculator when preparing rent assessments.
The 2013 Community housing rent policy (PDF, 305KB) and assessable and non-assessable income lists (PDF, 150KB) should be used in conjunction with the rent calculator when preparing rent assessments using the 2013 Community housing rent policy.
