How to Use

Enter your nightly rate, expected occupancy percentage, monthly operating expenses (cleaning, utilities, supplies, platform fees) and mortgage. The calculator estimates your monthly revenue based on 30 days and shows net income after expenses.

Short-term rental income varies seasonally. Use your annual average occupancy for planning, and stress-test with lower numbers for slow months.

Frequently Asked Questions

What occupancy rate should I use for Airbnb?

Market averages range from 50–75% depending on location and season. New listings often start lower. Research comparable properties on AirDNA or similar platforms for your specific market.

What expenses should I include?

Include cleaning fees, utilities, internet, supplies, platform fees (Airbnb takes 3%), property management, insurance, and maintenance. Short-term rentals have higher operating costs than long-term rentals.

Is Airbnb income higher than long-term rental?

Often yes, but not always. Higher nightly rates come with higher expenses, more management time, and seasonal vacancy risk. Compare net income, not gross revenue.
