Vacancy Loss Calculator

Enter the monthly rent and how many days the house sat empty. The result is rent you did not collect. Our management fee is $0 during that vacancy. The lost rent is still real, which is why pricing and leasing speed matter more than the fee percentage.

The figure is not a tax estimate and it is not a promise of what the next vacancy will cost. It leaves out utilities you kept on, lawn care, and any concession you offered to get the house leased. Those are real. The calculator is the rent portion only, so you can see the empty days without building a spreadsheet. Use your own rent, not a number you hope to get next year.

Our management fee is $0 during a vacancy because the fee is on collected rent. That does not make the empty days free. The lost rent is usually larger than the fee you did not pay. A house that sits for extra weeks can wipe out the difference between a careful price and a hopeful one. We would rather adjust the asking rent after a quiet first weekend than hold a number for pride.

Use the result when you are deciding whether to renew a resident, whether to paint before you list, or whether another empty month costs more than a leasing fee. Then ask for a free rental analysis if you want the rent tested against houses that actually leased. The calculator does not know your street. We will look at the address. Full service, pricing, and the leasing process are linked from the owner pages if you want the work handled after you see the number.
