Short-Term Rental Profit Calculator
Nightly rate and occupancy by month, every host cost, STR vs long-term let, verified
Nightly rate and occupancy by month, platform and cleaning fees, every host cost, and the long-term let of the same property beside it; every line verified.
Not on Gumroad yet: the store admits ten new listings a day and this one is in the queue. Follow below and the link arrives the day it goes live.
The price applies once the listing is live. Payment and VAT are handled by Gumroad, the merchant of record.

Twelve months of days, nightly rate and occupancy give nights booked, stays, nightly revenue, cleaning fees collected and booking revenue. Against that, every cost a host carries: the platform fee, cleaning per stay, consumables, management, mortgage or rent, utilities, insurance, a repairs reserve, licence and other fixed costs. Net profit by month and for the year, beside the long-term let of the same property (rent less vacancy, management and repairs, less the same mortgage and insurance), so the question that matters, short-term or long-term, is answered on your own numbers.
Summary: nights, occupancy, average rate achieved, revenue per available night, total costs, net profit under both uses, the short-term advantage, break-even occupancy at the average rate, and net margin on booking revenue.
- Every month and every summary line recalculated with a formula engine and matched to an independent Python replica before listing.
- Live formulas, no macros, no locked cells; opens in Excel and Google Sheets.
- Income tax, licensing limits on nights, furnishing capital and guest-side platform fees are outside the workbook and the Guide says so. Arithmetic on your assumptions, not investment or tax advice.
