Airbnb Profit Calculator
Estimate the profit from a short-term rental by comparing booking income with your total costs.
How this calculator works
Multiply your nightly rate by the number of nights you expect to be booked, then subtract all your costs for the same period. The result is profit before taxes. Count everything: mortgage or rent, utilities, cleaning, supplies, platform fees, insurance, furnishing and your own time if you hire a manager.
Example
You charge $165 a night, expect 200 booked nights in the year, and your total yearly costs are $14,500. The calculator shows: Profit: $18,500.00.
Tips
- Occupancy matters more than rate. Test your numbers at 50%, 60% and 70% of nights booked to see how fragile the profit is.
- Include platform service fees and cleaning costs that are not fully passed on to guests.
- Check local short-term rental rules and taxes before you buy or list, since some cities limit or ban them.
Common questions
What occupancy rate should I assume?
Use a conservative number based on similar listings in your area rather than a best-case figure. A 365-night year at 100% occupancy never happens.
Does this include income tax?
No. The result is profit before income tax, so keep some aside for tax.
