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.

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.
