1
Enter STR Income
ADR and occupancy drive everything. Check AirDNA or Rabbu for your market's actual performance data before projecting.
2
Include Setup Costs
Furnishing an STR costs $8-20K+. The calculator includes this in total cash invested, giving you a true CoC return -- not just on the down payment.
3
Enter All Operating Costs
STR has higher variable costs than LTR: owner-paid utilities, supplies, STR insurance (2-3x regular landlord policy), and the 15.5% Airbnb platform fee.
4
Read CoC Return
CoC = Annual Cash Flow / Total Cash Invested. Total cash in includes down payment, closing costs, AND furnishing. Aim for 8%+ CoC.
5
Check RevPAR
Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) = ADR x Occupancy %. $175 ADR at 62% = $108.50 RevPAR. Compare to market RevPAR benchmarks from AirDNA.
6
Optimize with Pro Forma
Enter your target occupancy after optimizing listing, photography, and pricing software. Even 10% more occupancy dramatically changes returns.

Airbnb ROI differs from standard rental analysis because of higher setup costs (furnishing), variable operating expenses, and the platform fee structure. A true ROI calculation must include furniture, photography, and initial supplies -- not just the down payment.


The 15.5% host-only Airbnb fee (as of October 2025) applies to the subtotal of nightly rate plus cleaning fee. On a $175 ADR with a $95 cleaning fee on a 3-night stay: 15.5% of ($525 + $95) = $96.10 in fees per stay.


STR success requires more than the numbers -- professional photography, competitive pricing with dynamic tools (PriceLabs, Beyond), and consistently excellent reviews. A top-10% listing in the same market can achieve 2x the revenue of an average listing.
