Frequently asked questions

Be conservative. A new listing often books 40–60% of nights in year one. Enter nights per month rather than a percentage so you can model seasonal peaks directly β€” 20 nights a month is roughly 65% occupancy.
Yes β€” enter the host service fee (typically 3% for a split-fee listing, around 14–16% for a host-only fee listing) in the platform fee field, and any cleaning you pay for in the cleaning field.
This calculator covers ongoing running costs. Subtract furniture, photography and listing setup separately, or amortise them by adding a monthly figure to the mortgage or rent field.
