The theory

Understanding Contract Value.

The total value of a corporate housing contract is more than just the monthly rent. It's a comprehensive calculation of all revenue streams minus all associated costs over the entire duration of the agreement.

/ Revenue Streams

This includes the base rent for all units, plus any recurring ancillary revenue (like parking, Wi-Fi, cleaning services) and any one-time fees (like administrative or setup fees).

/ Costs & Commissions

Key costs include the direct operating expenses for each unit (utilities, maintenance, staff time) and any commission or brokerage fees paid to secure the contract. Subtracting these from the gross revenue reveals the true net value of the contract.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions.

This should be a fully-loaded cost. Include utilities (electricity, water, internet), regular maintenance, a portion of property management salaries, insurance, property taxes, and any other consistent monthly expenses associated with keeping the unit operational for the guest.
Ancillary revenue is any income generated beyond the base rent. Common examples in corporate housing include fees for premium housekeeping, parking spaces, pet fees, gym access, business center services, or grocery stocking services.
Longer contracts are generally more valuable, even if the monthly rate is slightly lower. They provide predictable, stable revenue, reduce vacancy risk, and lower the administrative and marketing costs associated with finding new tenants, leading to higher net profit over time.
While this calculator focuses on operational costs, it's wise to build a separate 'contingency fund' or factor a small percentage for potential damages and accelerated wear-and-tear into your overall financial planning, especially for multi-unit, long-term contracts.
Commission rates can vary widely depending on the market, broker, and contract size. They typically range from 5% to 15% of the total contract value. For larger, multi-year contracts, it's often possible to negotiate a lower percentage.
