Short-term rental math,
without the guesswork

Six free calculators built for Airbnb and Vrbo-style hosts: the nightly rate you need to hit your income goal, the occupancy that breaks even, the real profit on your cleaning fee, your true payout after platform fees, blended seasonal pricing, and how short-term renting stacks up against a long-term lease.

Price and plan like a full-time host

Start with the required nightly rate calculator to know what you need to charge, then check the occupancy break-even calculator to see the minimum bookings that keep you out of the red. The platform fee & true payout calculator shows exactly what lands in your account after fees, and the short-term vs. long-term comparison puts the whole decision side by side.

Frequently asked questions

Is HostKit really free, with no account needed?

Yes — every calculator runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up, no data collection and no cost. Nothing you type is sent to a server.

Who is HostKit built for?

Anyone renting out a property short-term through a platform like Airbnb or Vrbo — from a single spare room to a small portfolio of listings — who wants a clearer handle on pricing, occupancy, fees and profitability.

Are the platform fee and tax percentages accurate for every platform?

They're realistic, generic defaults based on how short-term rental platforms commonly structure fees — but exact service fees, processing fees and local lodging tax rates vary by platform, region and account type. Always confirm the specific numbers in your own host dashboard and with your local tax authority.

Can these tools replace an accountant or property manager?

No — they're planning and estimation tools, not tax, legal or investment advice. They're most useful for quickly comparing scenarios before you make a pricing or listing decision.
