LandlordCalcAbout LandlordCalc
LandlordCalc is built and maintained as a free resource for single-family rental investors. The goal is simple: a calculator that works the way real investors actually think about deals, not the way most online calculators oversimplify them. Every metric on one screen, side by side, with live mortgage rate data from the Federal Reserve so the numbers reflect today's market and not last year's assumptions.
Why LandlordCalc Exists
Most rental property calculators online give you a cash flow number and call it a day. That's not how experienced investors evaluate deals. When you're looking at a single-family rental, you want to see Cap Rate, Cash on Cash Return, NOI, DSCR, the 1 percent Rule, the 50 percent Rule, and a 5-year ROI projection all on one screen, side by side, with the assumptions baked in but adjustable. That's what LandlordCalc does, and it's free for everyone.
The calculator also reflects today's market, not yesterday's. LandlordCalc pulls live mortgage rate data directly from the Federal Reserve Economic Database (FRED). When you click "Use Current Rate," you're getting the actual 30-year fixed rate as of right now. The AI investment commentary also adjusts its return benchmarks based on current rate environment, because what looks like a great deal in a 3 percent rate environment may be a marginal one in a 7 percent environment.
