Miet Vacancy Loss Rechner — Formel
## Understanding Vacancy Loss
Vacancy loss is the rental income you forgo when units sit empty between tenants. It is one of the largest controllable expenses in property management.
### Formula
**Annual Vacancy Loss = Daily Rent x Total Vacant Days**
Where:
- Daily Rent = Monthly Rent / 30
- Total Vacant Days = Average Days Per Turnover x Number of Turnovers
### Reducing Vacancy
- Begin marketing 60 days before lease expiration
- Offer competitive renewal terms to retain good tenants
- Streamline the make-ready process (target 7-10 days)
- Price units correctly for the market
- Consider slight rent reductions over extended vacancy
### Industry Benchmarks
- Professional management target: 3-5% vacancy rate
- National average for residential: approximately 6-7%
- Every day of vacancy costs you money, so speed matters during turnovers

Lösungsbeispiel
A 4-unit property renting at $2,000/month with 2 turnovers per year averaging 25 vacant days each.
- Daily rent: $2,000 / 30 = $66.67
- Total vacant days: 25 x 2 = 50
- Annual vacancy loss: $66.67 x 50 = $3,333
- Gross potential income: $2,000 x 12 x 4 = $96,000
- Vacancy rate: $3,333 / $96,000 = 3.5%
- Effective gross income: $96,000 - $3,333 = $92,667
