Free Tools Disclaimer
Important: The CPI Rent Calculator, Outgoings Calculator, and Lease Health Check are provided for general educational and informational purposes only. They do not constitute legal, financial, accounting, or property management advice.
Results produced by our free tools are indicative estimates only. They are based on information you enter and general assumptions. They should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advice specific to your circumstances.
CPI Rent Calculator
The CPI Rent Calculator uses CPI index figures that are subject to change and may not reflect the most current data published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The calculator does not account for all lease-specific provisions, individual lease terms, or jurisdiction-specific requirements. Always verify CPI figures directly from the ABS and seek legal advice before serving a rent review notice.
Outgoings Calculator
The Outgoings Calculator produces an estimate based on figures you enter. It does not account for all lease provisions, statutory requirements under the Retail Leases Act 1994 (NSW) or other applicable legislation, variations in outgoings categories, or specific landlord and tenant obligations under your lease. Outgoings recovery entitlements and methodologies must be assessed against the specific lease and applicable law. Seek professional advice before issuing outgoings estimates or reconciliations to tenants.
Lease Health Check
The Lease Health Check is a general self-assessment questionnaire. The score and commentary generated are indicative only and based on the answers you provide. The tool does not review or interpret your actual lease document. No score from this tool should be treated as a legal or professional assessment of your lease. Results are not a substitute for a lease review by a qualified solicitor or experienced property manager.
No liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, BLOX Commercial, its directors, employees, and agents accept no responsibility or liability for:
- Any loss or damage arising from reliance on the results of our free tools
- Errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in the information produced by our tools
- Any decision made, or action taken, based on the output of our tools
