What does short-term renting really net after platform fees, cleaning, management, supplies, and any lodging tax / permits / reserves you enter — and does it actually beat a normal long-term lease? Pick your situation:
Check AirDNA, AirROI or recent local listings for realistic ADR & occupancy in your area and season.
All default to 0. Many cities charge a lodging/occupancy tax and require a permit; furniture and linens wear out (a reserve covers that); and if you short-term rent your own home, you pay to stay elsewhere while it's booked.
The honest question: after all the extra STR work and cost, does it actually beat just leasing it?

This free Airbnb calculator estimates a short-term rental's revenue, RevPAR, and the occupancy you need to break even — and compares running it as an Airbnb versus a normal long-term lease, so you can tell before you commit whether short-term is actually worth it.
How do I know if an Airbnb will be profitable?
Compare your expected nightly rate and occupancy against all costs — cleaning, platform fees, furnishing, utilities, and taxes. This calculator turns that into monthly profit and a break-even occupancy so you can see how full you need to stay to come out ahead.
What is break-even occupancy?
Break-even occupancy is the percentage of nights you must book to cover all your costs. Below it you lose money; above it you profit. The calculator computes it from your nightly rate and expenses.
Is the Airbnb calculator free?
Yes — it's free in your browser with no signup. A downloadable Airbnb Toolkit with a full booking tracker and analyzer is available for hosts who want to track a whole year.
