Short-Term Rental Net Profit Calculator
See what a short-term rental really clears in a month after platform fees, cleaning, management and fixed costs. Occupancy taxes you collect and pass through are left out because they are not your income.
Results
How it works
Gross = nightly rate x booked nights + cleaning fee x stays. Net profit = gross minus platform fee, management fee, cleaner pay and fixed costs. Margin = net / gross.
FAQ
Should accommodations tax be included?
No. Tax you collect from guests and remit to the state or county is a pass-through, so this calculator leaves it out of gross and net.
What platform fee should I use?
Use the host-side fee from your own payout reports. Split-fee hosts often see a small percentage; host-only fee hosts see more.
Is this my taxable profit?
No. Depreciation, interest and other items change taxable income. Use this as a cash estimate and talk to a tax professional.
