Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter property amounts from one consistent currency and period.
  2. Use the labels to match the calculator's stated income, cost, area, or capacity convention.
  3. Read the assumptions beside the result before using it in an investment comparison.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Vacancy rate = (total available units or time − occupied units or time) ÷ total available capacity × 100%.

Entered fixed decimals use exact rational arithmetic. Money rounds only for display; a supported nonzero amount is never replaced by a misleading zero.

Worked example

Worked example

Eighty-eight occupied unit-months out of 100 available produce 12% vacancy.

Vacancy rate = (total available units or time − occupied units or time) ÷ total available capacity × 100%.

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Visible input limits

Amounts accept up to 30 digits and 12 decimal places and are capped at 1e12 per input. Rates are capped at 1000%; signed value-change rates cannot be below −100%.

International scope

No currency, tax regime, tenancy law, lender threshold, local market database, appraisal standard, or jurisdiction-specific fee is assumed.

Decision boundary

The result is an arithmetic scenario based on visitor-entered figures, not an appraisal, forecast, lending decision, legal determination, or investment recommendation.

Calculator-specific assumptions

Use a consistent capacity basis. Physical vacancy and economic vacancy can differ when concessions or unpaid rent exist.
