Property Management Fee Calculator
Estimate the annual cost of a property manager in Australia. Enter your weekly rent and the management rate, then add the usual letting and admin fees.
Your property management fee details
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
The letting fee (often one to two weeks rent) is charged each time a new tenant is found, so high tenant turnover makes a property manager cost more.
Compare total cost, not just the management percentage. A low headline rate with high letting, admin and renewal fees can cost more than a higher rate with fewer extras.
