Commitments

We occupy the majority of our facilities under non-cancelable operating leases with lease terms in excess of one year. Such facility leases generally provide for annual increases based upon the Consumer Price Index or fixed increments. Rent expense under operating leases, including month-to-month leases, totaled $21.6 million, $19.8 million and $18.6 million during fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

We have also entered into capital lease commitments for certain computer equipment. Property acquired through capital leases and the associated depreciation of these assets is included in property and equipment on our consolidated balance sheets. The current portion and long-term portion of our capital lease obligations is reported in other accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual purchase obligations and other agreements that are legally binding and specify certain minimum payment terms.

Minimum future commitments under our non-cancelable leases and other obligations were as follows at September 30, 2019:
