What is this tool? If you own a property (or are thinking of buying one to rent out), this calculator tells you how much money it's actually making you each year — after you've paid for all the costs of running it. It also tells you how that compares to other landlords in the same area.

What does it cost you to run?

Service charge & building maintenance

What the building management charges — lifts, common areas, security, water. Almost all apartments in Nairobi have this. Standalone houses have lower costs here.

5% of rent

Property management fee

If an agent handles finding tenants, collecting rent, and repairs — they charge a fee. Renvue charges 8–10%. If you manage it yourself, set this to 0.

8% of rent

Time the property sits empty

Even in-demand properties sometimes have a gap between tenants. During that time, you earn nothing. In Nairobi's top suburbs, this is usually less than 1 month per year.

1 month/yr

Repairs & annual upkeep

Painting between tenants, fixing leaks, replacing old appliances. Budgeting 2–4% of rent per year is realistic for a well-maintained Nairobi property.
