Frequently asked questions

What is a typical Airbnb host fee?

Airbnb's standard host-only fee is 3% of the booking subtotal (nightly rate × nights). Some hosts with very strict cancellation policies may pay slightly more. This is separate from what guests pay — Airbnb also charges guests a service fee of 14–20%.

What is a realistic Airbnb occupancy rate?

Occupancy rates vary enormously by location, season, and listing quality. Urban markets with year-round demand average 50–70%. Tourist destinations may hit 80%+ in season but drop to 30% off-season. Use tools like AirDNA or your local Airbnb host community to find benchmarks for your specific market.

Should I convert my long-term rental to Airbnb?

Compare your annual Airbnb profit from this calculator against annual long-term rental cash flow. Short-term rentals typically earn 1.5–3x more gross revenue but require more management time, have higher turnover costs, and face regulatory risk. Also factor in local STR licensing requirements and HOA rules.

How to maximise your Airbnb income

The two biggest levers on Airbnb income are nightly rate and occupancy. Pricing too low fills your calendar but leaves money on the table; pricing too high leaves nights empty. Dynamic pricing tools like Wheelhouse or PriceLabs automatically adjust rates based on demand, holidays, and local events — hosts using dynamic pricing typically see 20–40% revenue increases versus static rates.

The hidden costs of short-term rental

Beyond mortgage and utilities, Airbnb hosts should budget for guest supplies (toiletries, coffee, linens), professional photography, listing maintenance, platform subscription fees, local STR licensing, and additional insurance (Airbnb's AirCover provides some protection but a dedicated STR insurance policy is advisable). Factor these into your monthly expenses for an accurate profit estimate.
