How is your Airbnb income calculated?
The calculator provides an initial rental revenue estimate. Your property appraisal brings together local rental data, seasonal performance and estimated costs to show potential net income.
Your sales appraisal provides a more detailed review of your property, costs and the assumptions behind your estimate.
Your property
Location, property type and bedroom count help establish your property’s rental potential.
Comparable properties
Similar nearby homes provide a benchmark for expected nightly rates and occupancy.
Seasonal demand
Changes in demand help shape how nightly rates and booked nights may vary through the year.
Fees & operating costs
In your property appraisal, estimated management fees, platform fees and operating costs are deducted to show your potential net rental income.

Frequently Asked Questions
Using the calculator
How much can I earn from my property on Airbnb?
Your potential income depends on your location, property type, bedroom count, nightly rates, occupancy and operating costs. Use the calculator for an initial estimate, then request a property appraisal for a closer look at how your home could perform.
Is this Airbnb income calculator free?
Yes. You can use MadeComfy’s calculator to get a free estimate of your property’s potential short-term rental income. If you would like a closer look at the numbers, you can also request a detailed property appraisal.
What details do I need to calculate my Airbnb income?
Choose your full property address from the suggestions, enter your email address and select the number of bedrooms. Then follow the steps to tell us when the property is available and complete your details to see your estimate.
Can I use it for a property I haven’t bought yet?
Yes. Enter the address of the property you are researching to explore its short-term rental potential. Treat the result as a starting point: the property’s condition, furnishings, availability and suitability for short-term renting need a closer review.
Your income estimate
Does the estimate include management fees and operating costs?
The online calculator gives an initial rental revenue estimate before fees and operating costs. Your detailed property appraisal explains estimated MadeComfy management fees, platform fees and operating costs, and shows how these affect your potential net rental income.
How accurate is the rental income estimate?
The calculator provides an indicative forecast, not a guaranteed income. Actual results can change with guest demand, pricing, availability, property condition and costs. A detailed appraisal lets the sales team review your property and the assumptions behind its estimate more closely.
Why can my Airbnb income change from month to month?
Demand, nightly rates and booked nights can change through the year. Local events, holidays and quieter travel periods can all affect performance. The seasonal view in your property appraisal helps explain those changes, so you can look beyond a single strong or quiet month.
What’s the difference between the calculator and a property appraisal?
The online calculator gives you an initial income estimate. A sales appraisal provides a more detailed review of your property, including income scenarios, seasonal performance, fees, net rental income and a comparison with long-term renting. Select “Request My Property Appraisal” on this page to request that review.
