How the math works

Retention boost = hours saved × boost per hour. Revenue = units × boost × LTV.

18 hrs saved × 0.3% = 5.4% retention boost × 250 = 13.5 more retained × $30k = $405k revenue impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Benchmark response?

Emergency (water leak, no heat): 1-2 hours. Urgent (broken appliance, lock): 24 hours. Standard (paint touch, minor repair): 48-72 hours. Institutional aim: 95% of tickets closed within SLA.

Retention link?

Each hour faster response correlates with 0.2-0.5% retention gain. Top-quartile responding properties see 85-90% retention; bottom-quartile 60-70%. Retention compounds value over multiple renewal cycles.

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.
