What this spreadsheet does
Payout amounts, cleaning fees and maintenance costs land in different places, so actual monthly performance is hard to see without logging it in one place.
What you can do with it
- Keep a running record of actual bookings and payouts
- See which months are most profitable
- Prepare year-end numbers for taxes
What's included
Sheet tabs
- Instructions
- Monthly Summary
- Booking Log
- Expense Log
Features
- Booking log recording gross value and platform fee separately, so income counts from the net payout
- Refunds entered as negative rows, so the year still reconciles against your bank
- Expense log across eight set categories, each row flagged deductible or not
- Twelve monthly rows of nights, income, expenses, net and margin, for any year you choose
- Year-to-date totals with an expense breakdown by category
- A deductible subtotal kept separate from total spend
How it works
- 1Log each booking with its gross value and platform fee — income counts from the net payout
- 2Log each cost under a set category, marking whether it's deductible
- 3Set the year at the top of Monthly Summary; every month fills itself in
Who it's for
Active hosts who want an ongoing record of income and expenses, not just an estimate.
Frequently asked questions
Is this useful for tax time?
It gives you a year of categorised expenses with a deductible subtotal kept separate from total spend, because the same category holds both — a repair to the rental and the identical repair to the part you live in. It's a bookkeeping aid, not tax advice; confirm the final figures with an accountant.
How do I record a cancellation or refund?
As a negative row, not a deleted one. The month's income drops by the right amount and the year still reconciles against your bank — deleting the booking would leave the two disagreeing.
Can I track more than one property?
Add a property column to the Booking Log and Expense Log tabs to separate totals by property.
