Estimating the potential of short-term rentals has always been a challenge. While it’s clear they can be profitable, the real question is: How profitable? And when does a vacation rental become a worthwhile investment?

You can easily find out: our free tool allows you to simulate your profit using any address worldwide, including the UK.

Estimates are based on real performance data from similar properties in your area.
The closer the match, the more they influence the accuracy using Airbnb & Booking.com data.
We factor in seasonality, demand surges, and market growth patterns throughout the year.
Combining local and global data to forecast realistic income—not best-case scenarios.
This example is based on similar properties and typical performance — not peak assumptions.
Whether you’re exploring your first short-term rental or growing your investment portfolio, the Airbnb income calculator is designed to help you uncover the most profitable opportunities. Here’s who can make the most of this tool:
Airbnb Fees:
Airbnb charges a 15% service fee (plus any VAT/GST) on your total earnings.
Management Fee:
Our management fee is a percentage of your gross income from Airbnb, also subject to VAT/GST. You can explore our full range of services to see what’s included.
Supplies and Essentials:
During onboarding, we provide a checklist of initial supplies like cleaning products and guest essentials. Our team will restock these as needed, and you’ll only be charged the cost price.
Mortgage Repayment:
Be sure to account for the repayment portion of your mortgage when calculating expenses.
Bills and Utilities:
Don’t forget ongoing costs like electricity, water, internet, and other utilities.
Yearly Expenses:
These include property depreciation and any other annual fees, such as insurance or maintenance costs.
Important:
Cleaning fees are covered by Airbnb guests, so you don’t need to add those to your costs.
Real estate investment generally offers strong returns through rising property values and rental income. Vacation rentals tend to earn more because you can charge higher rates for short-term stays, though they come with seasonality risks.
To see if it’s worth it, look at market trends like population growth, rising incomes, and property demand. For an easy way to estimate your potential profits, use the Staymo Airbnb calculator, which gives you clear insights into your rental earnings.
