Jeonse and monthly rent are compared by converting deposit differences into an annual rate

Korean lease negotiations often trade a lower deposit for higher monthly rent. This converter uses a jeonse-to-monthly conversion rate to estimate equivalent monthly rent or equivalent jeonse deposit from the same cash-flow logic.

Calculation basis

Jeonse to monthly

Monthly rent = (Jeonse amount - deposit) × conversion rate ÷ 12.

Monthly to jeonse

Equivalent jeonse = deposit + monthly rent × 12 ÷ conversion rate.

Favorable check

If actual monthly rent is below the benchmark, it is relatively favorable for the tenant.

Frequently asked questions

Is the legal conversion rate fixed?

No. The legal ceiling is linked to interest-rate rules and can change. Market rates also vary by region, property, and financing conditions.

Who benefits from a higher conversion rate?

For the same deposit difference, a higher rate produces higher converted monthly rent, which is usually better for the landlord and costlier for the tenant.

Does this include maintenance fees?

No. It compares deposit and rent only. For real housing cost, also consider maintenance, loan interest, guarantee insurance, and moving costs.
