How this calculation works

The calculation takes your monthly rent, converts it to a daily rate (monthly rent divided by 30.44 days, the average days per month), then multiplies it by the number of vacant days you enter. This is a simple prorated estimate, not a precise accounting calculation, but it gives a useful order of magnitude for judging how urgent it is to get a unit rented again.

The real cost of a vacancy can also include cleaning between tenants, marketing, and sometimes discounts needed to speed up the rental. To reduce that cost, see our guide on a vacant unit not renting or our tenant placement service.
