Calculate rent increase impact for real estate investments and properties
Enter current rent, proposed increase percentage, and potential vacancy impact. The calculator shows net revenue effect.
Raising rent 8% from $2,000 to $2,160 increases annual revenue by $15,360. But if 2 of 20 units go vacant, net increase is only $9,600.
Market determines maximum. Typical annual increases are 2-5%. Larger increases risk vacancy. Compare to market rates and tenant retention costs.
Depends on amount and market. Increases under 5% rarely cause turnover. Turnover costs 1-2 months rent, so balance increase against vacancy risk.
Annually keeps pace with inflation and market. Skipping years then large increases shock tenants. Steady, moderate increases work best.
