Track every booking, not just an estimate
The Airbnb Host Spreadsheet logs real bookings and expenses and shows occupancy, ADR, profit and ROI for up to 6 listings.

Nights booked = 30.4 × occupancy. Stays = nights ÷ average stay. Revenue = nights × nightly rate + stays × cleaning fee. The platform fee is applied to the whole payout. Costs are cleaning and supplies for every stay plus your fixed monthly costs. Break-even occupancy is the occupancy where profit before tax is zero.
FAQ
What is a good occupancy rate for an Airbnb?
It depends on the market and season, but many hosts aim for 60–75% over the year. The calculator shows your break-even occupancy: below that level your listing loses money.
Should I include the cleaning fee in revenue?
Yes. The cleaning fee guests pay is revenue, and the cost of the cleaner is an expense. The calculator counts both, so you can see if your fee really covers each turnover.
What platform fee should I use?
Airbnb uses either a split fee (about 3% for the host) or a host-only fee (about 15%, often higher in some cases). Check your payout report and enter the real percentage.
Is this tax advice?
No. The tax set-aside is a simple percentage to help you plan. Rules differ by country and by your situation.
