How ROI Is Calculated for Short-Stay Rentals
Short-stay rentals follow a simple profitability formula:
Where:
Net annual profit = (nightly rate × occupancy × 365) − yearly expenses
Expenses include cleaning, management, utilities, insurance, maintenance, taxes, and loan interest if applicable.
Our tool combines these variables to help you quickly understand whether your property is profitable or needs adjustments.
Why This Calculator Matters
Short-stay rentals differ from traditional renting because income fluctuates based on:
- Seasonality
- Nightly pricing
- Occupancy rates
- Local competition
- Tourism demand
- Cleaning and management fees
A small change in price or occupancy can significantly impact your annual return. This calculator lets you visualize those changes in real time and make better investment decisions.
Typical performance benchmarks:
- Good ROI: 8–12%
- High ROI: 12–20%
- Exceptional ROI: 20% or more (seasonal areas, premium properties, unique stays)
Use the results to compare multiple properties, adjust your rental strategy, or test financial scenarios before investing.
