When to use this calculator
Most landlords underestimate turnover. Two weeks vacant on a $2,000 unit is roughly $1,000 in lost rent before you've spent a dollar on paint. Add cleaning, listing fees, and a leasing commission and you're often staring at $3,000–$5,000 of friction every time a tenant moves out. The calculator above totals those line items and shows how many months at the proposed new rent it takes to earn them back.
