Quick answer

Net STR cash flow = gross bookings − platform/host fees − cleaning − supplies − extra utilities − insurance uplift − debt service. Model occupancy off trailing comps in your season, then cut it 10–15 points—if the deal dies, it was never there.

Breakeven nightly (concept)

Monthly fixed costs (PITI, insurance, baseline utilities) + variable costs per stay + fees = required gross. Divide by booked nights to get breakeven ADR before profit. Excluded: income tax, furniture depreciation, and regulatory fines—real, but outside a quick cash-flow line.

Short-term rentals stack volatile gross revenue on top of the same fixed housing costs as long-term rentals—mortgage, insurance, taxes—plus STR-specific churn. Use it when you are deciding whether STR premium survives fees, cleaning, and your own time versus a 12-month lease.

How to use this calculator

  • Build revenue from booked nights: ADR × nights booked × 12, adjusted for seasonality—not “what similar listings ask.”
  • Load variable opex honestly: Turnover cleans, restocking, higher maintenance, and local taxes hit STR harder than LTR—use real invoices, not guesses.
  • Price your time: If you self-manage, either pay yourself a wage in the model or admit the return is partly a job.

STR premium vs operational load

Gross can be 30–80% higher than LTR in some markets; net after time and churn often shrinks that gap to single digits.

Real-world examples

  • Case study: $185 ADR, 62% occupancy: ~18.6 booked nights/mo → ~$3,440 gross. Platform + host fees 16% → ~$2,890. Cleaning $375, supplies $120, extra utilities $95 → ~$2,300 before mortgage. PITI $2,050 → ~$250/mo before reserves and income tax—one bad month of reviews or a regulation change erases that.
  • Occupancy 62% → 50%: Same ADR—revenue drops ~19%; fixed costs do not. That is why STR underwriting uses downside occupancy, not Instagram peak season.

What to decide

If net STR beats long-term rental cash flow only at peak season and 70%+ occupancy, you are running a seasonal business, not passive income. Regulation risk (HOA, city caps) belongs in the go/no-go, not a footnote.

FAQ

What occupancy should I use?

Use a trailing range from comparable listings in your seasonality bucket—70% in one market can be fantasy in another.

Are STR expenses higher than long-term?

Usually—turnover, cleaning, utilities, and platform fees stack up; compare against long-term [rent vs buy](/rent-vs-buy-calculator) holding scenarios when you are on the fence.

Do regulations matter?

Yes—HOAs, zoning, and permit rules can zero out modeled revenue; legal use is an input, not an afterthought.

How do I compare STR to a long-term lease?

Normalize net income after all fees and management, then stress vacancy up 10–15 points—if the premium disappears, the STR edge was fragile.

Rent vs Buy Analyzer

Compare the true financial impact of renting versus buying over time, including ownership costs, investing opportunity cost, and break-even timing.

Timing

Analysis exit sets the year for the main result (verdict, costs, thresholds). Leave blank to use the chart range. Charts/tables can extend farther than that year. Planned stay is only for the early-exit stress case when it is shorter than your analysis exit.

Home purchase

Financing

Ownership costs

Recurring costs are annualized in the model. Moving costs are one-time transaction costs at entry and exit.

Rent assumptions

Tax & investing

Tax savings are a simplified marginal-rate approximation on deductible mortgage interest and property tax. Not a full tax return; use toggles to reflect itemizing vs standard deduction.

Advanced options

Financing details

Ownership, moves & downside

Modeled once after the first month. The Downside scenario uses at least 10% if this stays at 0.

Rent-side options

Subjective: extra you value renting’s flexibility — not a landlord invoice. It increases modeled rent-side cost.

Tax & deduction details

Deductions use a simplified marginal-rate estimate; bracket phase-outs, AMT, and full return interactions are not modeled. Use toggles as directional guidance.

Presets fill the return fields as an assumption shortcut—not a back-tested portfolio.

Scenarios & risk

Adjust how much conservative vs optimistic scenarios move appreciation, rent growth, and investment return relative to your base inputs.
