How it is calculated
Maintenance reserve = rent × reserve rate ÷ 100
Example
Rent of 10,000 with a 7% reserve means setting aside 700 and leaving 9,300 before other costs.
Important notes
The percentage is a planning assumption. Actual needs depend on property age, condition, systems and expected capital work.
Worked examples and interpreting results
| Case | Calculation | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Reserve | 10000 × 7 ÷ 100 | 700 |
| Remaining | 10000 − 700 | 9,300 |
Frequently asked questions
Is there one standard reserve rate?
No. Appropriate reserves vary with property condition, type, age and maintenance history.
Should inputs cover the same period?
Yes. When comparing income, expense, balance or price figures, keep the period and definitions consistent.
Is the result a final property valuation?
No. The calculator gives a numerical relationship only; real decisions also depend on location, market conditions, taxes, financing and risk.
