Land Rent Calculator

Estimated Fair Cash Rent is Gross Revenue (Expected Yield times Commodity Price) multiplied by an adjusted rent ratio that starts from a 33% baseline and scales proportionally with CSR / Productivity Rating relative to a reference CSR of 85 -- so raising CSR, Commodity Price, or Expected Yield each raises Estimated Fair Cash Rent, with no term that ever works against another. Rent as % of Revenue reduces algebraically to just the adjusted rent ratio itself: Commodity Price and Expected Yield both cancel out of the fraction because they scale the numerator and denominator by the same amount, so Rent as % of Revenue moves only with CSR / Productivity Rating and stays completely flat -- inert -- against Commodity Price, Expected Yield, Property Taxes, and Land Value, even though the dollar-amount rent figure itself responds to all of those. Net Rent (after taxes) subtracts Property Taxes directly from Estimated Fair Cash Rent, so raising taxes always lowers net rent dollar-for-dollar.

Landlord ROI divides Net Rent by Land Value, so at a fixed net rent, a higher Land Value produces a lower percentage return -- the same rent dollars represent a smaller return on a more expensive parcel. Estimated Tenant Profit subtracts both Estimated Fair Cash Rent and a fixed $450/acre production-cost assumption from Gross Revenue; because a higher CSR raises the rent charged without raising Gross Revenue itself (CSR doesn't enter the revenue calculation at all), raising CSR actually lowers Estimated Tenant Profit even though it represents better land.
