1% Rule Calculator
How does scheduled monthly rent compare with the traditional 1% threshold?
Screening heuristic—not full underwriting
The 1% rule is a rough rent-to-cost screening shortcut. It does not account for financing, vacancy, taxes, insurance, HOA, maintenance, CapEx, management, utilities, condition, local markets, or other operating expenses.
Meeting this threshold does not establish profitability or investment quality, and missing it does not establish a poor investment.
