Every day a property is empty has a price. See what your vacancy costs over a year and how much a faster turnaround is worth.
These are example figures. Replace them with your own numbers — everything updates instantly.
Based on 45 vacant days a year.
Cutting vacancy by 15 days would recover €591.78 a year.
Daily rent is the annual rent divided by 365 days, so a month of vacancy costs the same whatever month it falls in.

Llaverio calculates vacancy from your actual leases and warns you before a contract ends — so the next tenant is ready before the current one leaves.

Lost rent = monthly rent × 12 ÷ 365 × vacant days
The vacancy rate is the vacant days divided by 365. Occupancy is the remainder. The recoverable amount applies the same daily rent to the days you think you could save.
Start marketing before the current tenant leaves, not after. Have the contract, inventory and deposit process ready so a good applicant can sign the same week. Schedule small repairs during the notice period. And keep good tenants: a renewal costs nothing, a turnover costs weeks.
For long-term lets in cities with steady demand, 3–8% a year (roughly 10–30 days) is typical. Seasonal or student lets, and properties that need work between tenants, run higher.
Yes, if the property could otherwise have been let. The rent doesn't arrive either way. Planned renovation is still vacancy — it is just vacancy you chose.
No. Agency fees, advertising and cleaning are extra costs on top of the lost rent. The calculator shows only the income you don't receive.
Because months have different lengths. Using the annual rent divided by 365 gives one daily rate that is the same all year, so 20 days in February costs the same as 20 days in July.
Add up the days each unit was empty over the last year. Llaverio does this automatically from your leases, and shows the occupancy of every property on the dashboard.
