Oycora methodology
Percentage-Based Expense Bases
The income amount to which a percentage-based expense assumption is applied.
How this is calculated
Percentage property management is based on collected rental income and excludes recurring other income. Percentage expenses are recomputed from projected income and do not independently double-grow.
Why it matters
Using the correct basis prevents a percentage expense from being understated, overstated, or grown twice.
What is included
- The specific income basis assigned to the expense type
What is excluded
- Income categories outside that canonical basis
Assumptions and limitations
- Actual contracts may use a different fee basis and should be modeled accordingly where supported.
