Rental Vacancy Loss Calculator: See the Cost of an Empty Unit

Estimate how vacant days, turnover expenses, utilities, and lost rent affect a rental property's annual cash flow.

How to use this resource

Vacancy costs are more than a month of unpaid rent. They can include cleaning, repairs, utilities, advertising, and the time required to make a unit ready again. Use the calculator to compare a rent decision with the cost of a longer vacancy, then verify the inputs against your own property records.
