Vacancy Calculator

Measure the Impact of Vacancy on Your Rental Income

Use the calculator on the left to explore whether renting or selling your home is the better financial move. Simply enter your property and financial details to receive an estimate of your potential earnings through both scenarios.

Note: The "Years to Hold" field allows you to project how long you might keep the property before selling. This input is important—it calculates the year the property would be sold and automatically includes associated selling expenses in that year. These “Other Costs” may include things like agent commissions, capital gains taxes, and depreciation recapture. As a result, expect to see a noticeable spike in expenses for that year if you choose to sell.
