How to Calculate Weekly Rent from Monthly
To convert monthly (pcm) rent to weekly (pw) rent:
- Multiply the monthly rent by 12 months (to get the annual cost)
- Divide by 52 weeks (to get the weekly equivalent)
Example: £900 monthly rent
- £900 × 12 months = £10,800 annual cost
- £10,800 ÷ 52 weeks = £208 weekly rent
Important Calculation Notes
The calculations used here assume 52 weeks per year for simplicity and practical use. Technically, there are 52 weeks and 1-2 days per year (depending on leap years).
For extreme accuracy, you could multiply monthly figures by 12 then divide by 52.14 weeks, but this creates minimal difference – typically less than £1 per week – and most people find the simplified calculation more practical and easier to understand.
For example, using our simplified method, £1,000 pcm converts to £231 pw. Using the precise method gives £230 pw – a difference of just £1 per week.
Additional Considerations
When budgeting for rental costs, remember to factor in:
- Deposit requirements (typically 1-6 weeks’ rent)
- Agency fees (where applicable)
- Utility bills and council tax
- Contents insurance for your belongings
- Moving costs and potential annual rent increases
Whether you’re renting or letting property, understanding these conversions helps you compare options accurately and make informed decisions about rental costs across different listing formats.
