How is Airbnb revenue calculated?

Booked nights = 365 × occupancy. Gross revenue = booked nights × nightly rate + number of stays × cleaning fee. Net income subtracts the host service fee and yearly operating costs.

What occupancy rate should I use?

Many markets average 50–70%. Use local data from comparable listings, and test a lower figure to see a conservative case.

What service fee does Airbnb charge hosts?

Hosts on the split-fee structure usually pay about 3%. Hosts on the host-only fee structure pay around 14–16%. Enter the rate that applies to you.

Does this include taxes and mortgage payments?

No. Add mortgage, property tax and insurance to monthly operating costs if you want them included. Income tax is not calculated.

Yes. All calculations happen in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
