Vacation Rental Calculator
Estimate revenue, cash flow and investment returns for Airbnb, Vrbo and other vacation rentals.
Vacation rental profit calculator
Every figure updates as you type. Enter a purchase price, financing terms, nightly rate and occupancy, and see cash required, annual revenue, monthly cash flow, cap rate and cash-on-cash return update as you type.
Can I use this as an Airbnb calculator?
Yes. The maths is the same whichever platform you list on. Enter your average nightly rate and occupancy, and set the listing fee to whatever your platform charges — the calculator handles Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com and direct bookings identically.
What does "cash on cash return" mean here?
Annual cash flow after debt service, divided by the total cash you put in — down payment, closing costs, rehab and furnishing. It answers what your money earns, as distinct from what the property earns, which is the cap rate. Between them they are the two ROI figures most vacation rental buyers compare before making an offer.
Are the operating expenses monthly or annual?
Every figure under Operating expenses is a MONTHLY amount, including taxes, insurance and HOA. Cleaning is priced per turnover, and management and listing fees are a share of gross revenue.
