Make the result useful
How much rental cash can an owner draw after bills and reserves?
An owner draw is cash left after known property obligations and the reserve you intentionally retain. It is not the same as profit, taxable income, or permission to transfer funds. Start with cleared, unrestricted cash rather than an account balance that includes tenant deposits or earmarked money.
The useful decision is usually not “can I withdraw this?” but “what remains if the expected repair, tax payment, or vacancy arrives first?” Run a conservative version before moving cash out of the property account.
Calculation lens
potential draw = available unrestricted cash - unpaid bills - retained reserve
The output is a planning remainder, not an accounting profit figure or authorization to distribute funds.
Entity agreements, loan covenants, trust-account rules, taxes, and accounting basis may restrict or change a distribution decision.
Is an owner draw the same as cash flow?
No. Cash flow measures a period of operations; a draw is a transfer decision after considering cash, bills, and reserves.
Should security deposits be included?
No. Treat deposits and other restricted funds separately according to your applicable requirements.
How large should the reserve be?
Choose and document a policy that reflects the property, upcoming obligations, and risk tolerance; this calculator does not prescribe one.
