Percentage Rent Audit Checker — Free, Runs in Your Browser

Did your landlord bill the right percentage rent?

Retail and restaurant leases often charge a percentage of gross sales above a breakpoint. Type the lease terms, the landlord's statement and your own sales report. The tool recomputes the rent, prices each line you can question (a wrong sales figure, refunds, gift-card sales, a cap) in dollars, and names the record that would prove it.

Nothing is uploaded. Your sales are read in this browser and never leave your device.

1. Lease terms

Percentage rate, %

Breakpoint

Base rent for the lease year ($)

Percentage rent cap, if any ($)

Use figures for the same period as the statement. For a partial lease year, enter the base rent or breakpoint for those months.

2. The landlord's statement

Gross sales the landlord used ($)

Percentage rent billed ($)

Percentage rent estimates already paid ($)

Statement date

Days the lease gives you to object

3. Your own records

Gross sales in your POS or books, same dates ($)

Leave blank to start from the landlord's figure. Then list amounts inside that figure that your lease excludes from Gross Sales.

Line	Amount in gross sales ($)	Lease excludes it	Remove

4. For the note (optional)

Tenant name

Lease year

Lease clause

Enter the rate, breakpoint inputs, the landlord's sales and the amount billed, then click Check the statement.

What this does not cover

Not legal, tax, or financial advice. Your lease and your landlord's statement control.
No lease reading. You supply the rate, breakpoint, cap and which sales lines your lease excludes; the tool cannot tell what your Gross Sales definition says.
No other charges. Common-area, tax and insurance pass-throughs are separate and not checked here.
It does not decide who is right. Each line is priced alone, so lines can overlap near the breakpoint; the combined figure is the one that adds up. A line is only worth raising if your records prove it.

Common questions

Can I audit my landlord's percentage rent statement?

Usually yes. Leases with a percentage-rent clause normally let the tenant ask for the sales report behind the bill, and many set a short window to object, so find the date and clause first. Disputes are won with your own sales report for the same dates, not with a note that only says the number looks high.

What is a natural breakpoint in a percentage rent lease?

It is base rent divided by the percentage rate: at a 6% rate and $60,000 of annual base rent, the natural breakpoint is $1,000,000. Percentage rent is charged only on gross sales above it. Some leases state a different, artificial breakpoint instead, and then the stated number controls.

What can be excluded from gross sales for percentage rent?

It depends entirely on the lease's definition of Gross Sales. Sales tax, refunds and returns, gift-card sales (until redeemed), employee discounts and tips are common exclusions, but none is automatic. Read your definition and mark only the lines your lease excludes.

Why does an excluded amount sometimes change nothing?

Percentage rent is charged only on sales above the breakpoint. If an excluded amount sits below it, taking it out lowers sales but not the rent by itself. The tool prices each line alone and then recomputes the combined answer, which is the figure to trust.

Is this legal advice?

No. It redoes the arithmetic from the lease terms and sales figures you type. It does not read your lease, and your lease and your landlord's statement control.
