DCME Lease Tool™
Lease Calculator Intelligence™
Calculate annual rent, monthly rent, GST exposure, CPI or fixed increases, bond or bank guarantee exposure and the weekly sales pressure created by a lease.
A lease is not just monthly rent. It is a long-term cashflow commitment with tax, outgoings, increases, security and exit obligations.
Lease Intelligence™ converts property language into owner decisions.
Rent must be converted to weekly pressure.
GST is not profit or spare cash.
Outgoings change the real occupancy cost.
Security money can lock up business cash.

Break the lease decision into four simple parts.
GST / Outgoings™
Money collected, paid or recovered under the lease.
- Confirm timing
- Check cashflow
- Record notices
Security Exposure™
Bond, bank guarantee, top-up and release timing.
- Know exposure
- Track deadlines
- Protect evidence
Break Even Impact™
The sales required before the site becomes safe.
- Owner decision
- Risk control
- Action plan
Why It Matters
Lease decisions can control profit, cashflow, exit options and business sale value.
What to Calculate
Annual rent, monthly rent, GST-inclusive total, outgoing estimates, fixed rent review, CPI rent review and security exposure.
