The ultra-high efficiency and cost-effective photovoltaics based on halidepreovskites have brought a revolution to ongoing photovoltaic research,surpassing the expectations of the scientific community. However, structuralstability is a severe issue that hinders their wide-scale integration at thedevice level. Compositional engineering with the halide mixing has become anefficient way to deal with this issue without compromising device efficiency.Herein, the structural, electronic and optical properties of the bromide mixedorthorhombic $\rm{{RbPb(I_{1-x}Br_x)_3}}$ (where, $\rm{x}=0.25$, $0.50$ and$0.75$) are calculated using the density functional theory. The electronicbandstructure and density of states (DOS) are calculated using both PBE(Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof) and TB-mBJ (Tran Blaha modified Becke Johnson)potential. The lowest energy bandgaps of $2.288$ and $2.986$ eV for bromidemixing of $\rm{x}=0.50$ are obtained using PBE and TB-mBJ, respectively. Incontrast, the mixed bromide phases possess a smaller effective mass,facilitating a better carrier transport through the mixed halide. Using PBE,the excitons appear to be the Mott-Wannier type. However, the TB-mBJ predictsthe exciton to be Frenkel type for bromide mixing of $\rm{x}=0.75$ and aMott-Wannier type for all other mixing under study. The spectroscopic limitedmaximum efficiency (SLME) is observed to be at the highest values of $14.0$\%and $4.1$\% for the equal admixture of I and Br using PBE and TB-mBJ,respectively. The calculated properties are consistent with the reported dataof the similar structures.
