How to calculate the cost per property management fee?

The cost per property management fee can be calculated using the following formula:

Management Fee Calculation:

§§ \text{Management Fee} = \left( \text{Total Management Cost} \times \frac{\text{Management Rate}}{100} \right) + \text{Additional Costs} §§

where:

  • § \text{Management Fee} § — total management fee to be paid
  • § \text{Total Management Cost} § — total cost incurred for property management
  • § \text{Management Rate} § — percentage rate charged for management services
  • § \text{Additional Costs} § — any extra costs associated with property management

Cost per Property Calculation:

§§ \text{Cost per Property} = \frac{\text{Management Fee}}{\text{Number of Properties}} §§

where:

  • § \text{Cost per Property} § — cost of management per individual property
  • § \text{Management Fee} § — total management fee calculated above
  • § \text{Number of Properties} § — total number of properties being managed

Example:

  • Total Management Cost: $1000
  • Management Rate: 10%
  • Number of Properties: 5
  • Average Rent per Property: $2000
  • Additional Costs: $100

  1. Calculate the Management Fee:

    • §§ \text{Management Fee} = (1000 \times \frac{10}{100}) + 100 = 200 §§

  2. Calculate the Cost per Property:

    • §§ \text{Cost per Property} = \frac{200}{5} = 40 §§
