STR Profit Calculator for Airbnb & Vrbo Hosts
A full calendar isn't the same as profit. This STR profit calculator nets a single short-term-rental stay honestly — after the channel's cut, the cleaner, and the supplies. Because the nightly rate is only the headline: a channel can take 3 to 15 percent, and a one-night booking still pays for a whole turnover. Enter the nightly rate, the nights, any cleaning fee, the channel fee, and your turnover costs, and this Airbnb profit calculator returns your true net profit and margin per stay, plus a rough monthly estimate. Use it right here in your browser, or download the spreadsheet to keep.
STR Profit Calculator
Example stay shown — edit any fieldThis is one stay on one listing — no booking log, no expense tracking, no occupancy or RevPAR, no Schedule-E summary, and nothing saved (the full workbook does all of that). Lodging tax is a pass-through and is left out of the net. Pre-filled with an illustrative example; replace every figure with your own, and use your channel's current fee.

What it does
- Builds the gross booking from the nightly rate, the nights, and any cleaning fee you charge the guest.
- Applies the channel's fee (percentage plus any flat fee) to get the payout that actually lands in your account.
- Returns the true net profit and margin per stay after the cleaner and turnover supplies — plus a rough monthly estimate.
- Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere, and nothing is saved.
Own it, don't rent it
Want every stay and every property, not just one?
This free tool nets one stay on one listing. The full workbook runs the whole operation — a booking & payout log that nets every stay, an expense log by Schedule-E category, an occupancy, ADR & RevPAR view of which listing pays, a turnover checklist and supplies par list, and a dashboard with a Schedule-E year-end summary, in one connected spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets, or LibreOffice) plus five guides.
A one-time purchase you keep and reuse on every stay — the structured workbook between a blank spreadsheet and a rented monthly channel-manager app.
A business and record-keeping aid, not tax, accounting, or legal advice. Every figure is illustrative — channel fees change and lodging-tax and income-tax rules differ by place and year, so enter your own current numbers.
