What is the default Leasing Commission formula in ARGUS Enterprise?

The default Leasing Commission formula in ARGUS Enterprise is indeed based on the elements that contribute to the total income derived from a property lease. In this formula, Base Rent represents the foundational income from leasing space, while Fixed Steps account for any predetermined increases in rent over the lease term. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) adjustments ensure that the rent reflects inflationary trends, preserving the purchasing power of rental income. Free Rent is subtracted from the total because it represents periods where no rent is charged, thus impacting the net income of the lease.

By combining these elements, the formula effectively captures the nuances of lease income and allows for accurate commission calculations that reflect actual receipts over time. This approach aligns with common practices in real estate financial modeling, ensuring that commissions are calculated based on the expected profits throughout the lease duration.
