Ranges are indicative and based on 2024–2025 market data. Your actual earnings depend on room size, furnishing, and amenities.
Our calculator weighs these factors to produce your personalised estimate.
Proximity to public transport, CBD, universities, and employment hubs significantly impacts what you can charge per room.
Furnished rooms with built-in wardrobes command 15–25% higher rents. Ensuite bathrooms add another 10–20% premium.
Quality of kitchen, living areas, laundry facilities, and outdoor space. Modern, well-maintained common areas attract better tenants.
Including high-speed internet and utilities in the rent simplifies billing and can justify a 5–10% premium.
Fewer tenants per property generally allows higher per-room rates. A 3-person house often achieves better per-room returns than a 6-person house.
January–March sees peak demand from university students and new arrivals. July–August is typically quieter with lower competition.
