Real Estate Property Management Fee Calculator
What property management really costs once leasing fees, renewals and markups are counted.
Result
An arithmetic tool, not financial or legal advice. Lending criteria, tax treatment and tenancy law all vary by state and change regularly. Confirm anything that affects a decision with a lender, an accountant or an attorney. The advertised percentage is rarely the real cost. Leasing fees, renewal fees, maintenance markups, inspection charges and sometimes a share of late fees all add to it, and the effective rate is often half again as much as the headline. Ask for the full fee schedule.

About this calculator
What is a typical management fee?
Eight to twelve percent of collected rent for single family, less per unit for larger multifamily. The headline figure is only part of the cost.
Is self-managing worth it?
It depends on your time and proximity. The fee is visible and the value is not: a good manager reduces vacancy, turnover and legal risk, and any of those can exceed the fee.
The formula
total = management fee on rent + leasing and renewal fees + markup on maintenance
