Break-Even Occupancy Calculator
The single occupancy threshold every multifamily, office, retail, and industrial owner needs to know: the percentage you must keep leased to cover every operating dollar plus the mortgage.
Annual Inputs
Break-even occupancy = (Operating Expenses + Debt Service − Other Income) ÷ Gross Potential Rent. Anything below 70% is healthy; above 85% leaves little room for tenant rollover or economic downturns.
Why Break-Even Occupancy Matters
Break-even occupancy answers the most important downside question in CRE: at what occupancy do I run out of cash? A property running at a 78% break-even with current market occupancy of 92% has a 14-point cushion; one at 91% break-even with 92% occupancy has effectively no cushion and is one rollover away from negative cash flow. Use this calculator at every refinance, every acquisition, and every stress test.
Pair this with the DSCR calculator to confirm lender compliance and the mortgage calculator to lock in the debt service input.
