== Rental fees ==

Note that office rental fees in NPC stations are ''dynamic''; they vary per station and will go up or down depending on demand at the station. Office rental fees are calculated daily at downtime based on the number of free offices at downtime. Monthly fees rise by 5% when there are no available offices at the station; prices stay the same when there is one available office. When there are two or more available offices, prices drop - the size of the drop is based on the number of available offices<ref>https://~~web.archive.org/web/20110417012942/https://www~~.eveonline.com/~~ingameboard.asp~~?a=topic&threadID=1280861 </ref>. Since you only get a bill every 30 days and prices can rise by 5% '''per day''', there can be a large difference between one month's rent and the next month's rent (in the worst case, the rent can quadruple!).

The minimum rent is 10,000 ISK, but in popular stations, the rent can be several million ISK per month. In the very popular stations, such as the main stations in [[trade hubs]], rents can be in the hundreds of million ISK per month! Most stations have more sensible rents though, from the minimum of 10,000 ISK to a few hundred thousand ISK. It is very much worth it to 'shop around' when looking for a good location for an office; even stations in the same system can have widely different rental fees. Unfortunately, there is no way to remotely check the availability of offices or the rental fee. When you are docked at a station, the number of free offices will be listed in the {{co|cyan|Offices}} tab of the Station Information panel, but the only way to see what the rent is, is to click the {{co|cyan|Rent office}} button. (Note: even if the station has no free offices, it is possible to see what the rent would be by clicking the button.)
