The base calculator with revenue, costs and profit calculation is completely free. Premium features like season analysis, forecasts, comparison and PDF export are optional.

The formulas are based on realistic assumptions for platform fees, cleaning costs and occupancy. They do not, however, replace tax or investment advice.

We apply monthly seasonal factors to your occupancy — typical summer peaks, weaker winter months. This gives you a realistic yearly forecast instead of a simple average.
