Pro Tip
In Australia, rent is commonly advertised weekly, but often paid monthly. Use this calculator to understand the true cost of your rental property and compare different payment options easily.
The correct weekly to monthly rent formula
There are 52 weeks in a year and 12 months, so one month contains on average 4.33 weeks. To convert weekly rent to monthly rent, multiply by 52 and divide by 12.
The popular shortcut of multiplying by 4 assumes a 48-week year and understates your real monthly cost by roughly 8%. On $600 a week that is a gap of about $200 every month.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert weekly rent to monthly rent?
Multiply the weekly rent by 52 and divide by 12. For example, $500 a week is $500 x 52 / 12 = $2,166.67 a month. Multiplying by 4 understates the monthly figure by about 8%, because most years have 52 weeks, not 48.
How much is $500 a week in rent per month?
$500 a week is about $2,166.67 per month and $26,000 per year.
How do I convert monthly rent to weekly rent?
Multiply the monthly rent by 12 and divide by 52. For example, $2,000 a month is $2,000 x 12 / 52 = about $461.54 a week.
How do I convert fortnightly rent to monthly?
Multiply the fortnightly rent by 26 and divide by 12. $1,000 a fortnight is $1,000 x 26 / 12 = about $2,166.67 a month.
Why does my landlord charge weekly rent but my bank takes monthly payments?
Australian rental advertisements and tenancy agreements are almost always quoted per week, while many tenants budget monthly. The correct conversion uses 52/12, so a monthly payment is slightly higher than four weekly payments.
