The data in the Airbnb calculator is updated monthly. It also excludes properties that just start on Airbnb since early results are not a consistent predictor of long-term revenue for an Airbnb.

The data for the Airbnb estimator is exclusively for Airbnb. If the comparable property you are evaluating does a significant amount of business via VRBO or another platform, it may under-represent the average daily rate and seasonal occupancy.

The revenue calculated by the Airbnb estimator represents gross revenue. It does not include taxes, cleaning, and other recurring and one-time hosting expenses.

A good Airbnb occupancy rate is 75% or higher. The occupancy rate also depends on the location and the season. That’s why you can select multiple comparable airbnbs and view the seasonal occupancy and seasonal daily rates they charge.

ADR stands for average daily rate and it takes the gross revenue of a property for the entire year and divides it by the number of days that a property is available to guests. The average daily rate does not take into accounts days when the property is not available on the platform.

Owning an Airbnb can be very profitable but like any investment it takes some research to get a good one. A profitable Airbnb needs to be in a desirable location with a solid daily rate. It also needs to offer great furnishing and amenities to have a high occupancy. Finally, hosts or property managers must work hard to ensure that guests leave plenty of positive reviews.

The Airbnb estimator can help you make the decision of how to best rent an investment property. With an Airbnb you’ll almost always have a higher potential income. With a traditional investment the income will be lower but more predictable and more stable. The upfront costs for an Airbnb are also a bit higher due to furnishing requirements, but you also get to use it as a personal vacation home.

You can earn a substantial amount of money by renting a property on Airbnb. The Airbnb estimator can help you get a good understanding of the range for you earning by allowing you to compare any potential Airbnb address to existing Airbnbs nearby.

If you’ve already determined the gross revenue of a potential Airbnb, consider cleaning costs, furnishing upkeep, regular maintenance and repairs, occasional replacement of furniture and appliances and other restocking costs. If you prefer not to be responsible for managing all of these, consider subtracting 15% for full-service property management.

The best properties to compare a potential Airbnb investment to are ones that a guest would likely consider if looking at your property. Comparables should be in the same price range, have similar furnishings, offer the same amenities, and otherwise be in the same area an in proximity to the same destinations.
