Airbnb Revenue Calculator — Short-Term Rental Income Guide
Airbnb charges hosts a service fee of 3% (standard split-fee model) deducted from each payout. Some hosts opt for the host-only fee model (14–16%) which eliminates the guest service fee. Occupancy rates vary greatly: Tier 1 cities (NYC, LA, San Francisco) average 65–75%, while rural/seasonal properties average 40–50%. The cleaning fee is important — it's passed entirely to guests and directly adds to your revenue, but must be competitive with comparable listings. For tax purposes, if you rent fewer than 15 days per year, the rental income may be tax-free in the US. Consult a tax professional for short-term rental tax treatment in your area.
