How the math works

Replacement amortized = cost / life. Annual = maint + amortization. Per-unit monthly = annual / units / 12.

$60k + $200k/15 = $73.3k annual / 250 / 12 = $24.44/unit/month amenity cost.

How to Use

Enter annual amenity maintenance.
Enter amenity replacement.
Enter amenity useful life.
Enter units.
Read amortized per-unit cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Major amenity categories?

Pool: $25-50k annual maintenance + $150-250k replacement every 15 yrs. Fitness: $8-25k annual + $80-180k replacement. Clubhouse: $15-35k + $150-300k. Dog park: $2-8k annual + $20-40k refresh. Rooftop deck: $10-30k + $60-150k.

Per-unit cost?

Class A buildings allocate $30-80/unit/month to amenities. Class B: $15-40/unit/month. Tight amenity budgets produce aging, neglected amenities — faster tenant turn. Well-maintained amenities preserve rent premium.

Amenity lifecycle?

Newly opened: high attraction, low maintenance cost. 5-10 years: moderate maintenance, refresh needed. 10-20: major CapEx investment required (resurface pool, replace fitness equipment). 20+: total replacement or removal.

How often should I rerun this?

Rerun this calculator whenever inputs change materially — new rent roll data, rate moves, loan balance updates, or quarterly operating data. For active deals, monthly refresh is typical. For stabilized assets under monitoring, quarterly is fine. Treat the output as a decision tool, not a one-time answer — market conditions evolve and so should your analysis.
