Every day a unit sits empty costs you real money. This vacancy cost calculator adds up lost rent and turnover expenses so you can see the true cost of vacancy for your rental — and decide how much it's worth spending to fill it faster.
Enter your rent and vacancy details below — results update instantly.
Enter monthly rent and expected days vacant to see your vacancy cost.
Vacancy 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.
