Property Management Fee Calculator

For ongoing monthly fees, the tool first estimates collected rent by adjusting advertised rent for expected occupancy: collected monthly rent = monthly rent × units × occupancy rate. Management fees are then applied to collected rent or calculated as fixed per-unit amounts depending on the chosen method.

Placement and renewal fees are modeled as one-time events and reported as per-unit and total amounts. Where both percent and flat options exist (placement, renewals), the calculator uses the higher of percent-derived fee or flat fee as the applied amount to reflect common market rules.

Minimum monthly fees are applied when specified. The effective management rate expresses annual management fees as a percentage of estimated collected annual rent.

Use this multi-method calculator to compare fee structures on a consistent basis by converting all methods into monthly and annual amounts and by expressing impact as an effective rate relative to collected rent.

Treat outputs as planning estimates. Validate with actual invoices, signed management agreements, and local regulatory counsel before making contractual decisions.

Example: 10 units at $1,200 rent, 95% occupancy, 8% management fee: collected monthly rent = $1,200 × 10 × 0.95 = $11,400. Monthly management fee = $11,400 × 0.08 = $912. Annual fee = $10,944.

Example: Flat fee $75 per unit for 10 units produces $750 per month and $9,000 per year. If a minimum fee of $1,000 is set, the applied monthly fee becomes $1,000.
