Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate Airbnb profit and cash flow?
Calculate total revenue (nightly rate × occupancy × nights + cleaning fees) minus all expenses (mortgage, utilities, cleaning costs, platform fees, maintenance reserve, and furnishing costs). Our calculator automates this process with detailed breakdowns.
What expenses should I include in my Airbnb calculations?
Include all operating expenses: mortgage/rent, utilities, cleaning costs, platform fees (3-5%), maintenance reserve (5-10% of revenue), furnishing amortization, insurance, and any property management fees.
What's a good occupancy rate for Airbnb properties?
Average occupancy rates vary by location and season, typically ranging from 50-80%. Popular destinations may achieve 70-85%, while less touristy areas might see 40-60%. Research your local market for realistic expectations.
How much should I charge for cleaning fees?
Cleaning fees typically range from $50-150 depending on property size and local rates. Ensure your cleaning fee covers actual cleaning costs plus a small margin, but don't price yourself out of the market.
What ROI should I expect from Airbnb investment?
Good Airbnb properties typically generate 8-15% annual ROI, though this varies greatly by location, property type, and management efficiency. Factor in appreciation potential and tax benefits for complete analysis.
