This calculator estimates the yearly income and net yield from short-stay letting. Enter your average nightly rate and the share of nights you expect to be booked; it then takes off preset figures for the platform fee, utilities and host management, plus maintenance and cleaning. Before planning on short stays, check whether the building and the local rules allow them.
