Free Cash Flow Calculator for Rental Properties
Cash flow is the lifeblood of any rental property. It represents the money left over after all expenses are paid, helping landlords and investors understand how much profit a property generates monthly or annually.
What is Cash Flow?
Cash Flow = Rental Income – Expenses
- Rental Income: Total rent collected from tenants.
- Expenses: Mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, maintenance, management fees, and utilities you cover.
Positive cash flow means your property is generating profit. Negative cash flow means you are paying out of pocket each month.
