A $75/month rent increase sounds small. On a $200,000 property, it changes net yield from 5.1% to 5.55% — a 9% improvement in your annual return. But if that increase triggers a tenant departure, the vacancy costs $3,000-5,000 according to the NAA, wiping out 3-4 years of the increase.
The rent increase decision balances two risks:
- Too low: Yield falls behind rising expenses (property tax +3%, insurance +8%)
- Too high: Tenant leaves, vacancy costs exceed the raise
PIE's rent increase calculator models both scenarios so you find the optimal number.
What the Calculator Shows
Sample output: Increasing rent from $1,500 to $1,575/month on a $200,000 property:
- Net yield change: 5.1% → 5.55% (+0.45 points)
- Annual income gain: $900
- Break-even if tenant leaves: 4.4 years
