How the math works

Margin = fee − cost. Monthly = units × uptake × margin. Annual × 12. Value = annual / cap.

$32 − $16 = $16 margin. 220 × 90% × $16 × 12 = $38k NOI. At 5% = $760k value.

How to Use

  1. Enter units.
  2. Enter monthly fee per unit.
  3. Enter vendor cost per unit.
  4. Enter uptake %.
  5. Read annual NOI contribution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Program mechanics?

Third-party vendor (Valet Living, Trash Butler, Trashlet, etc.) provides 5-7 day/week doorstep trash pickup. Residents pay $25-40/mo fee. Vendor cost $12-20/unit/mo. Margin 40-60% to property.

Uptake?

Opt-out (mandatory): 95%+ uptake. Opt-in: 70-85%. Mandatory generates larger NOI. Resident satisfaction: generally high. Works best in garden-style (avoid trash room walks); less valuable in urban walk-up.

Economics?

200-unit property, $30 fee, $15 cost, 95% uptake: $30 × 200 × 95% = $5,700 revenue − $3,000 cost = $2,700/mo = $32k/yr NOI. At 5% cap = $640k value creation. Strong for capital-light amenity.

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.
