Airbnb Profit Calculator
Test a short-term rental before you buy or list it. Enter your nightly rate, occupancy and monthly costs to see monthly and annual profit, cash-on-cash return and the occupancy you need to break even.
How the airbnb profit calculator works
An Airbnb profit calculator should be conservative. Short-term rental income swings with season, reviews and local rules, so the number that matters is the break-even occupancy: how many nights you must book just to cover the mortgage, utilities and cleaning.
This page doubles as a quick short-term rental pro forma. It shows one steady month and the 12-month total. For a lender package, use our DSCR calculator and the guide on DSCR loans for Airbnb properties.
Replace the example figures with quotes from your property, a market data source and your own bookings, and check local permit, tax and platform-fee rules.
