Simple math, on purpose.
The calculator multiplies your annual rental income by your current management fee percentage, then by the number of units. It shows the same income at 15% next to it. That is the whole formula. We don't add assumed savings, we don't guess at occupancy, and we don't ask for your email to see the result.
Management fees on the coast vary by property type and service level. Short-term rental management generally costs more than long-term because it includes guest support, cleaning coordination and pricing. The fee is only part of the picture: ask what's included, how repairs are billed, and how fast the owner statement arrives.
Check the number you enter. Your management agreement should state the percentage and what it applies to, such as gross rent or net of cleaning. If you are not sure, take the total management fees from your last twelve owner statements and divide by the rent collected. That gives you your real rate, which is sometimes higher than the one on the agreement once add-on fees are counted.
Then look at what the percentage leaves out. Common extras include leasing or placement fees when a new tenant moves in, renewal fees, markups on repairs, inspection charges and setup fees. None of them are wrong in themselves, but two managers quoting the same rate can cost you very different amounts by the end of the year. The calculator covers only the headline fee, so add any of these to your own comparison.
Speed and reporting matter too, though they do not show up in a percentage. Ask how quickly owner statements arrive, how repairs get approved, who answers when something breaks at night, and whether you can see bookings and income yourself at any time. A lower fee is worth less if you spend your weekends chasing updates.
If you own more than one unit, the units field multiplies the same income across all of them. For units that rent at different levels, run each one separately, or enter the average.

Fee calculator questions.
Short answers here. Anything longer belongs in a guide, linked below.
Is 15% what The SIR Group charges?
No. 15% is a reference point so you can see what your current fee costs in dollars. Your actual proposal depends on the property and the service.
Why don't you show a savings number?
Because we won't promise what we haven't seen. The calculator shows what you pay today and what the same income looks like at 15%. The rest is a conversation.
Does this include cleaning, repairs or platform fees?
No. It is the management fee only. Bring your statement to the sit-down and we'll walk through the pass-through costs together.
