Get 5 Free EditsVacancy cost is your monthly rent divided by 30 to get a daily rate, multiplied by the number of days the unit sits empty, multiplied by the number of units affected, plus any turnover costs like cleaning or repairs. This calculator does the math for you instantly.
Turnover costs are the one-time expenses to get a unit rent-ready between tenants — cleaning, painting, repairs, make-ready work, and any marketing or listing fees. These add directly to your total cost of vacancy on top of lost rent.
