In a commercial leasing context, an amount payable by a tenant in addition to the base rent. Percentage rent is typically based on a percentage of the tenant's sales in excess of a fixed base dollar amount, which is often referred to as the breakpoint.

Percentage rent clauses are most commonly found in retail leases.
