How this is calculated
Rent load is one of the fastest sanity checks in franchise site selection. Compare the lease against your revenue pro forma, not the broker's flyer.
- Total occupancy = base rent + CAM (common area maintenance) + any pass-through charges included in your lease.
- Occupancy ratio = total occupancy ÷ projected monthly revenue × 100. Many wellness concepts target 8 to 12% (estimate); clinical or premium sites may run higher if ticket averages support it.
- Max affordable total occupancy = projected revenue × target occupancy %.
- Max affordable rent = max affordable total occupancy minus CAM. Use this as a ceiling when negotiating or comparing sites.
Worked example
At $85K projected revenue, $7,200 rent + $900 CAM = 9.5% occupancy vs a 10% target: within range (estimate).
