1. What is the CPI Rent Increase Calculation?

The CPI (Consumer Price Index) rent increase calculation determines how much rent can be raised based on the inflation rate in Victoria, China. It provides a fair method for adjusting rental prices according to economic conditions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple formula:

Where:

• \( Rent \) — Current rent amount in CNY
• \( Vic\_CPI \) — Victoria China's Consumer Price Index percentage

Explanation: The calculation multiplies the current rent by the CPI percentage to determine the allowable increase amount.
