Short-Term Rental Revenue

Nights times rate times occupancy, minus a platform and cleaning drain.

$31,536

Guest charges
$39,420
Per month
$2,628.00

Occupancy and the cost percent are inputs. Local bans, lodging tax, and the mortgage are not.

How this number is made

Short-term revenue is not the nightly rate times 365. It is the nights you actually book, minus the platform, the cleaning you do not pass through, and the supplies. The percent is your drain on bookings.

  1. Nights available should exclude the days you block for yourself or for repairs.
  2. Occupancy is a guess until you have a year of it. Sixty percent is not a promise.

Formula

Bookings = nightly rate × nights available × occupancy. Left after the percent = bookings × (1 − percent).

Worked example

With the figures already in the form, left after the percent is $31,536.

Questions

Where is the mortgage?

Not here. This is revenue after the platform drain. Debt and tax still come out before cash flow.

Do local rules allow this?

This page does not know. A banned short-term rental has an occupancy of zero no matter what the rate is.
