Frequently asked questions
Does this account for platform fees?
Yes. Platform fees, cleaning costs and utilities are all separate inputs so profit reflects real operating costs.
Can I model more than one property?
The Monthly Projection tab is set up for one property. Duplicate the tab to model additional properties separately.
What is break-even occupancy?
It's the minimum occupancy rate needed for revenue to cover your fixed and variable costs, calculated automatically from your inputs.
