What this calculator estimates
Compare collected property revenue with gross potential revenue. It combines the inputs below to produce Economic occupancy. Every assumption remains editable so the estimate can reflect the property, financing and location being evaluated.
Worked example
Using the displayed sample assumptions, the calculator produces 90.50%. This is an illustration, not a market quote. Change one input at a time to understand what drives the result.
Inputs and assumptions
- Gross potential annual rent — sample input: 600000 currency units
- Physical vacancy loss — sample input: 30000 currency units
- Concessions — sample input: 15000 currency units
- Bad debt and arrears — sample input: 12000 currency units

How to interpret the result
Reconcile the result with leases, invoices and property records. Compare a conservative case with an expected case and keep a record of the assumptions used.
Common mistake to avoid
