Property ownership
Property operating expense ratio
Benchmark internal expense share without recommending market benchmarks.
Your inputs
Complete the fields for your selected method. Zero means intentionally zero, not unknown. Currency selection labels amounts; it does not convert exchange rates.
How this calculation works
operating expenses/effective gross income.
Matching period and property scope. Operating expenses exclude debt, depreciation and capital expenditure. No market benchmark or investment recommendation.
What information do I need?
Use records for the same job, equipment or accounting period. Only the fields for your selected entry method are required. An unknown amount is not zero.
Input definitions and where to find them
- Period operating expenses (selected currency): Operating expense excluding debt/depreciation/capital spending.
- Period effective gross income (selected currency): Same-period effective gross income after collection/vacancy loss.
Use the Where to find this value controls beside the inputs for available work-it-out helpers. Estimates remain your assumptions; a helper does not verify the source figures.
Worked example
Example amounts use US dollars (USD).
Example answer: Operating expense ratio is 40.00 % for the illustrative inputs below.

These illustrative values are not recommended rates or industry averages. Replace every example input with your own figures.
Use the result well
Benchmark internal expense share without recommending market benchmarks.
Keep inputs on the same scope and time basis. Calculations retain precision internally; displayed values generally round to two decimal places, with extra precision for very small values and whole-unit rounding where required. Economic comparisons describe your supplied assumptions and do not guarantee future results.
