Average & Standard Rent
The average rent is calculated from the rental income belonging to the relevant type of tenure, divided by the corresponding area. For commercial premises, offices and warehouses, the property's rental income from commercial premises is divided by the non-residential floor area (LOA). For residential units, the property's rental income from housing is divided by the residential floor area (BOA). Any other rental income is disregarded – for example, income from housing when calculating the average rent for commercial premises, or income from commercial premises when calculating the average rent for housing.
The average rent for housing should not be confused with the standard rent. When the standard rent is calculated for a property, each apartment type is assigned a number of apartment points. A three-room apartment with a kitchen at 70 sqm receives a certain number of points, for instance, while a one-room apartment with a kitchenette at 25 sqm receives a different number. The points are then added up and set in relation to the property's total rental income from housing. This gives the property's utility value component (BVK) – that is, the rent per apartment point. The standard rent is then calculated by multiplying the BVK by the apartment points for a standard apartment, which corresponds to three rooms and a kitchen at 77 sqm.
There are different methods for calculating the points across apartment types. Unless stated otherwise, the service uses the 1991 method. This is the calculation model recommended by Boverket (the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning), and the one most commonly used.
The total rental income generally covers the income and costs attributable to each type of letting. For commercial premises let on a rental basis, this may include rent, operating and maintenance costs, state property tax, separately invoiced rents for garage spaces and storage, and rent for advertising space and masts. For residential units let on a rental basis, all costs are normally included, such as rent, heating, and water and sewerage.
For a more detailed account of what is included in the total rental income, you can read more on the website of Skatteverket (the Swedish Tax Agency) via this link.
