DealGauge

Put the rental deal grader on your site. Free.

One line of HTML. No account, no sign-up, no API key, and nothing to renew. If you write about rental property, run a brokerage site, teach a class or send a newsletter, your readers can grade a deal without leaving your page.

What it looks like

The rules, in plain language

• It is free, for any site, commercial or not. No permission needed and no attribution beyond the small "Powered by DealGauge" link that ships in the footer of the widget. Please leave that link in place. It is the only thing we ask for.
• We do not track your readers. The widget sets no cookies, has no analytics, and sends nothing anywhere. Everything is calculated in the browser.
• Nothing is gated. There is no email capture inside the widget, no pop-up and no upsell overlay. Your readers get the full grade and the walk-away price.
• It will not break silently. If we change how the grade is calculated, it goes in the dated changelog with everything else.
• You can change the size. Adjust the height in the snippet if your layout is narrow. On very narrow columns the widget stacks and needs roughly 780px.

Why we give it away

Because a calculator on a page you already trust is worth more to a reader than a calculator on a page they have never heard of. We would rather be useful on your site and earn the click than buy attention. If a reader wants the deeper version, the widget links back here, and that is the whole business model.

What it calculates

The same arithmetic as the full calculator, with the standard defaults visible in the footer: vacancy at 6% of rent, maintenance at 9%, capital expenditures at 9%, and management at 9%, on a 30-year loan with six months of lender reserves and a $3,000 operating float counted in the cash needed. It reports the grade, monthly cash flow, cash-on-cash, lender DSCR, and the walk-away price with the binding constraint named. Every weight and cut-off is published on the methodology page.

Readers who want to change the assumptions can follow the link through to the full version, where all sixteen inputs are editable.
