How the valet trash NOI estimate works
Estimated occupied units equal total units multiplied by occupancy. Monthly resident revenue equals occupied units multiplied by the entered monthly resident fee. Monthly service expense uses the same occupied-unit count multiplied by the entered service cost per occupied unit.
The estimated monthly NOI contribution subtracts service expense and the optional administration cost from resident revenue. Annual figures multiply the monthly scenario by the selected operating months. Margin divides the estimated monthly NOI contribution by monthly resident revenue.
What the break-even resident fee means
The break-even fee is the monthly fee per occupied unit that would equal the modeled service and administration costs. It is a mathematical planning point, not a pricing recommendation and not proof that a fee is legally, contractually, or competitively appropriate.
If occupancy is zero, the calculator cannot produce a per-occupied-unit break-even fee. If resident revenue is zero, margin is left undefined rather than presenting a misleading percentage.
Review the full property scenario
A useful property analysis also considers collections, concessions, bad debt, lease language, taxes, vendor scope, container costs, rollout timing, and resident communication. Those variables are outside this focused model.
Treat the result as a transparent starting point. Save or print the assumptions, then ask TDME to review the property layout and proposed operating model.
