Size and floor area
What does it come to for your floor area?
Estimated median rent

Typical range: €260 – €480
€3.80/m² × floor area (INE median of all sizes, 2025); range: 1st and 3rd quartile (€3.07/m² to €5.63/m²). The table below adjusts the €/m² to each size: larger homes cost less per m².
Monthly rent from T0 to T4
| Size | Reference area | Estimated median rent | Typical range¹ | €/m² used |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| T0 or T1 (studio, 1-bed) | 48 m² | €250 | €200 – €370 | 5.17 |
| T2 (2-bed) | 85 m² | €330 | €265 – €485 | 3.87 |
| T3 (3-bed) | 115 m² | €340 | €275 – €500 | 2.95 |
| T4+ (4-bed or more)² | 145 m² | min. €340 | – | 2.34 |
Aluseg estimate: median €/m² (2025) adjusted by the gap between sizes INE measures in the region (Região de Coimbra) and multiplied by a reference floor area. INE does not publish monthly rent by size at municipality level.
¹ Between INE's 1st and 3rd quartile of €/m²: roughly half of the new leases fall in this range.
² Times the reference area, the €/m² INE measures for this size would give a rent below the smaller size (INE pools every T4 or larger home, big homes with a low €/m²), which is not what the market charges. We show the plausible minimum (the smaller size's value), with no range, instead of a misleading number.

Rent and income
How much of income does rent take? The case of Mortágua
An 85 m² T2 in Mortágua against the median income of the people who live in the municipality. Each bar is the rent of a T2 as a % of the median income of one person, of a couple, or of average gross earnings.
Rent of an 85 m² T2 (Aluseg estimate from INE data, new leases, 2025)€330/month
- One person on the median income€969/month, after income tax, 202434%
- A couple (two median incomes)€1,938/month, after income tax, 202417%
- Average earnings of an employee€1,448/month, gross, by workplace, 202423%
- 35%: the limit used in the extraordinary rent support (Decree-Law 20-B/2023) and in IHRU programmes (official figure).
- 40%: INE/Eurostat housing-cost overburden threshold (indicative: it is defined on household disposable income).
Among all municipalities with data
Mortágua ranks 29th of 254 municipalities, ordered from the lowest to the highest weight of a T2 rent in one person's median income. Median municipality: 50%.
How to read this figure
- Income per person, not per household. We set the rent of a T2 against the median income of one person; the couple bar shows two median incomes. It is not the rent-to-income ratio of a specific household.
- Different years. The rent is 2025 and the income is 2024.
- Rent of new leases. An older lease, with yearly updates, may have a different rent.
- Median income after income tax (INE, 0012757): declared gross income minus the income tax due, per taxpayer and place of residence. It is net of income tax but still gross of social-security contributions, and includes pensioners.
- Average monthly earnings (INE, 0012656): employees, gross and by workplace, not by residence.
- Reference lines. 35% is an official figure (extraordinary rent support and IHRU programmes); 40% is the INE/Eurostat threshold, only indicative here. We do not draw other lines as if they were official.
