How can I set the property value to 0 if the referenced model is NULL?
I'm calculating the value for WageCost in ScheduleWeek from ScheduleDays like this (the property name is the same for wage cost in a day and in a week):
public double WageCost => ScheduleDays.Sum(w => w.WageCost);
But if ScheduleDays is null, I get an exception. How can I set the value of WageCost to 0 if no ScheduleDays exist?

Write a check for null. SeM gave you the new null-conditional opeartor wich isa convencience feature that was added with C# 6 or so. But a good oldif(ScheduleDays == null) WageCost = 0;would also work.

@Christopher If I remember correctly, expression bodied properties was added in c#6. So I assumed he is using >=c#6.

@SeM: It is a solid asumption that anyone has access to those right now. I was just mentioning it for completeness.

You can use ?(null-conditional) and ??(null-coalescing) operators for that:
public double WageCost => ScheduleDays?.Sum(w => w.WageCost) ?? 0;
