What is vacancy actually costing you?

Every day your property sits empty, you’re losing more than just rent. Mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities still come due. This calculator shows the real cost of vacancy — and why faster leasing pays for itself.

Why this matters.

Most owners think of vacancy cost as “lost rent.” That’s only part of the picture. During a vacancy, you’re also paying:

Mortgage — principal and interest don’t pause.
Property taxes — prorated daily whether occupied or not.
Insurance — your policy doesn’t care if anyone lives there.
Utilities — minimum charges, plus you may need to keep heat or water on for showings and maintenance.
Opportunity cost — every vacant month is a month you could have been building equity through a resident’s rent payments.
