Airbnb Income Calculator — How Much Can You Make?

Simulate monthly and annual host income — 15.5% fee, occupancy, weekday/weekend pricing

How much does an Airbnb host actually make in a month? There is no average — your location, weekday/weekend split, occupancy, cleaning fee, and the 15.5% host service fee all stack into one number. This free simulator takes your real 3-tier prices and occupancy and shows monthly gross plus the annualized projection live as you type. Use the what-if slider to model ±5% and ±10% price changes and pinpoint the price that maximizes annual revenue.

What you'll learn: ① the monthly revenue your weekday/Friday/weekend pricing actually generates, ② how a 5-point swing in occupancy changes your bottom line, ③ a what-if comparison of price increases vs decreases, ④ the gap between guest total and host net payout, ⑤ your annualized income projection.

FAQ

How much does an average Airbnb host make?
It varies widely by market, property size, and occupancy. Urban 2-bedroom listings in popular destinations often gross $2,500–$5,000/month before the 15.5% host fee; smaller or off-season listings earn less. Use this calculator with your actual weekday/weekend pricing and occupancy to get a personalized estimate.
What's a realistic Airbnb occupancy rate?
Typical year-round occupancy is 50–70% in most markets. New listings often start at 30–40% and climb as reviews accumulate; superhosts in peak-demand cities can exceed 80%. Weekends usually outperform weekdays by 15–25 percentage points.
How does the 15.5% fee affect income?
Since May 25, 2026 Airbnb deducts 15.5% from the host-set price at payout. On a $150/night listing that is ~$23 per booked night — roughly $700/month at 65% occupancy on a 30-day month. This calculator shows the exact net after fee, VAT (if applicable), and cleaning costs.
