One listing over a modeled 365-night year. Enter available nights, paid booked nights and stays separately. Each stay incurs one guest cleaning fee and one host turnover cost. Airbnb identifies a use case, not an affiliation, live data source or separate mode. The example host fee is illustrative; enter your own terms.

Operating result ÷ gross revenue
Cleaning fees collected and turnover costs paid are separate. Receipts after platform fees still need to cover operating costs. Fixed costs apply even in an empty year.

The host platform fee applies to lodging plus guest cleaning-fee revenue and rounds half-up once to cents for the modeled year. Every downstream total uses that same rounded fee. Actual booking-level payouts can differ. Ratios round to six decimals and display to two percentage decimals; unavailable is different from 0%.
The annual operating result is before debt service and income tax. It excludes lodging taxes, guest service fees, deposits, refunds, capital expenditure and acquisition costs. It is not take-home pay, ROI, cash-on-cash return or a guaranteed payout. This flat annual model does not forecast demand, seasonal pricing or local permission to operate.
STR assumptions stay separate from long-term rent, vacancy, property management and aggregate expenses. Related calculators keep the active scenario but do not transfer calculated income. Rental ROI and rental break-even use their own long-term rental assumptions; NOI measures entered operating income and costs, while Cash-on-Cash Return also needs cash invested and cash flow after debt service.

Formula reference
Money is displayed in USD and rates are entered as percentages where applicable. Formula version short-term-rental@1.0.0 stays attached to the result.
Occupancy = B ÷ A
B is paid nights booked; A is nights available to book, excluding owner-blocked nights. A=0 makes occupancy unavailable. Counts must satisfy 0 ≤ B ≤ A ≤ 365, with zero stays when B=0 and otherwise 1 ≤ S ≤ B.
Lodging = B × R; guest cleaning revenue = S × C; gross G = B × R + S × C
R is the average nightly lodging rate excluding cleaning fees and taxes. S is booked stays and C is the guest cleaning fee per stay. Cleaning fees collected are revenue, not a reduction of host cleaning costs.
H = roundHalfUp(G × f, 2); receipts after fee = G − H
The host platform fee applies to lodging plus guest cleaning-fee revenue and rounds half-up once to cents for the modeled year. Every downstream total uses that same rounded fee. Actual booking-level payouts can differ. Ratios round to six decimals and display to two percentage decimals; unavailable is different from 0%.
Total costs = H + S × K + B × V + F
K is the host turnover cost per stay; V is other variable cost per booked night. F is other fixed annual operating costs, excluding separately entered platform fees, turnover and per-night costs. Fixed costs still apply with no bookings.
Result = G − total costs; margin = result ÷ G
Keep losses and negative margins signed. Margin is unavailable when gross revenue is zero. Receipts after the platform fee still need to cover turnover, variable and fixed costs. The annual operating result is before debt service and income tax. It excludes lodging taxes, guest service fees, deposits, refunds, capital expenditure and acquisition costs. It is not take-home pay, ROI, cash-on-cash return or a guaranteed payout. This flat annual model does not forecast demand, seasonal pricing or local permission to operate.
Example scenario
320 available nights, 200 paid booked nights, 50 stays, $180 nightly lodging, $80 guest cleaning fee, $90 host turnover cost, 10% host platform fee, $12 other cost per booked night and $12,000 fixed annual costs. These are editable, unsaved synthetic assumptions; 10% is illustrative, not a current Airbnb quote.

FAQ
With booked nights unchanged, lodging revenue and occupancy stay the same. Changing only stays from 50 to 100 adds $4,000 cleaning revenue, $400 platform fees and $4,500 turnover costs. Gross revenue rises to $44,000, but the operating result falls by $900 to $16,200.
No. Enter nights actually available to book out of the modeled 365-night year. The example’s 200 booked nights divided by 320 available nights gives 62.50%. This denominator is not the same as all calendar nights or a long-term rent collection rate.
Set booked nights and stays to zero. Activity-based revenue and costs become zero, but the $12,000 fixed annual costs remain, producing a −$12,000 operating result and unavailable margin. Occupancy is 0% when nights are available; if availability is also zero, occupancy is unavailable.
No. It is one annual operating estimate for Airbnb or another channel, with no platform affiliation or live data. Enter your own fee terms. Actual booking-level rounding and omitted taxes, guest fees, refunds, deposits and other adjustments can change payouts. Debt service, capital expenditure and acquisition costs are excluded.
No. STR assumptions have their own storage fields. Related links retain the active scenario, but Rental ROI, NOI, rental break-even and Cash-on-Cash Return keep their own definitions and inputs. Navigation never transfers calculated STR income.
