1
Enter ADR & Occupancy
Average Daily Rate and occupancy % drive everything. Use AirDNA, Rabbu, or AllTheRooms for your market data. Conservative occupancy in as-is is safer.
2
Set Cleaning Fee & Stay Length
Cleaning fee income offsets your cleaner costs. Avg stay length affects how many stays per month and total cleaning fees collected.
3
Enter Property Costs
STR insurance costs more than landlord insurance. Utilities are typically owner-paid for STR. Don't forget supplies -- toiletries, coffee, linens.
4
Read Net Cash Flow
Net = STR revenue minus platform fees minus all expenses. This is what you actually keep. Many STR investors target $500-1500/mo net.
5
Compare Occupancy Scenarios
The pro forma column shows what happens if you optimize to higher occupancy. Even 5-10% more occupancy can dramatically change profitability.
6
Check STR vs LTR Premium
The calculator estimates how much more you're making vs a traditional long-term rental. If the premium doesn't justify the extra work, LTR may be better.

Short-term rental (STR) income can be 2-3x traditional long-term rental income in the right markets -- but with significantly higher management intensity, operating costs, and regulatory risk.


Airbnb's fee structure changed in October 2025 to a host-only model: hosts pay 15.5% of the subtotal (nightly rate + cleaning fee), and guests see no separate service fee. This is built into the calculator.


Key STR success factors: location proximity to demand drivers (beach, theme parks, business district), professional photography, competitive pricing with dynamic tools like PriceLabs or Beyond, and consistent 5-star reviews. A well-optimized STR in the right market can significantly outperform LTR; a poorly located or managed STR can underperform it.
