Cell Tower Lease Calculators
Three free tools for landowners facing different situations. Select the one that matches your objective below.
Not sure which to use? Use the Lease Rate Calculator to project what your lease will pay over time. Use the Lease Buyout Calculator if you've received an offer to purchase your lease. Use the Renegotiation & Extension Calculator if a carrier or tower company has asked you to accept new lease terms.
Lease Rate Calculator
Enter your current rent, escalation rate, and term length to see exactly what your cell tower lease will pay you — month by month and year by year — for the full life of the agreement.
- Want to understand the total value of their lease over time
- Are evaluating a new lease offer or renewal proposal
- Need figures for financial, estate, or lending purposes
- Want to compare a higher escalation rate vs. a higher base rent
Lease Buyout Calculator
Compare a lump-sum buyout offer against the stream of lease payments you would otherwise receive. Uses present value analysis to put both figures on equal footing so you can make an informed decision.
- Received a letter or call offering to purchase their lease
- Want to know if a buyout offer is fair relative to future income
- Are weighing a lump sum now vs. steady payments over time
- Need a starting point before speaking with an advisor
Renegotiation & Extension Calculator
Compare your current lease against a renegotiation or extension proposal side by side. See the real cost of a signing bonus paired with lower rent — in today's dollars, over the full term.
- Received a renegotiation request from a carrier or tower company
- Are being offered a signing bonus in exchange for a rent reduction
- Want to see what a lease extension is worth over its full term
A Calculator Is a Starting Point, Not a Decision
These tools give you the numbers. Understanding what they mean for your specific lease — given your carrier, tower type, location, and remaining term — is a different question. Our advisors answer it for free.
