Tenant Turnover Cost Calculator

Plan cleaning, repairs, leasing and vacancy costs between tenants. Replace every default with figures that apply to your property and location.

What this calculator estimates

Plan cleaning, repairs, leasing and vacancy costs between tenants. It combines the inputs below to produce Total turnover cost. 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 $4,430. This is an illustration, not a market quote. Change one input at a time to understand what drives the result.

Inputs and assumptions

• Cleaning — sample input: 450 currency units
• Repairs and paint — sample input: 1800 currency units
• Advertising or leasing fees — sample input: 500 currency units
• Vacant days — sample input: 21 days
• Monthly rent — sample input: 2400 currency units
• Other costs — optional — sample input: 0 currency units

How to interpret the result

Review cash flow together with reserves, vacancy and financing risk. Compare a conservative case with an expected case and keep a record of the assumptions used.

Common mistake to avoid

Do not treat gross rent as net operating income. Local definitions, taxes, lending practices and measurement requirements can materially change the result.
