The cost of leaving a lease early can include a contractual buyout, rent during a required notice period, possible rent while the unit is vacant, lost deposits, and moving expenses. This calculator creates a financial planning estimate; it does not determine whether you may end the lease or what a landlord can recover.

This is a planning estimate based on the numbers you enter. The lease, timing rules, and local requirements may affect the real amount or deadline.

Compare zero, one, and two vacancy months instead of treating a single estimate as guaranteed.
It depends on the lease, notice requirements, buyout terms, vacancy period, deposits, and applicable law. Model each cost separately.
The answer depends on the lease, facts, and jurisdiction. This tool estimates scenarios and does not determine legal liability.
Include only the portion you reasonably expect not to recover, and keep it separate from fees to avoid double counting.
