You may want to run an Airbnb simulation because you are starting out in short-term rentals or looking to increase your assets. It can therefore help you if you are asking yourself the following questions:
• If you are an Airbnb host or a novice owner: How much can I earn renting on Airbnb? Is it profitable?
• If you are the owner of a second home: Is short-term Airbnb rental of my holiday property worthwhile?
• If you are an investor looking to evaluate a new acquisition or the potential income from an Airbnb rental.
To estimate your potential income on Airbnb, several key elements must be taken into account. The occupancy rate of your property is a determining factor, as it depends on local demand, seasonality and the competitiveness of your prices. The characteristics of your property also play an important role in the attractiveness of your listing. The most important are:
• Location: In which city, neighbourhood, or building is your property located? Is the building well maintained?
• Size: What is the surface area? How many bedrooms? Outdoor spaces like gardens or terraces are also valuable in assessing income potential.
• Amenities: What is the quality of bathrooms, kitchens, and sleeping arrangements? Is Wi-Fi available? The number of beds directly impacts pricing, while comfort influences rental value.
• Pricing & Occupancy: Your monthly Airbnb revenue equals the nightly rate multiplied by the number of booked nights.
In addition, dynamic pricing can optimise your earnings by adjusting rates according to demand and local events. Finally, reviews and the reputation of your accommodation directly influence your ability to attract new travellers, as users often prioritise well-rated properties.
Get StartedThe profitability of an Airbnb rental depends on several factors. In general, a property becomes profitable when your monthly income covers these costs and generates a net profit. This may vary depending on the location of your property, seasonality, and competition. Long-term profitability is also measured by the balance between the initial investment and the income generated.
As a general rule, if you achieve an occupancy rate of around 70% and your income covers your expenses with a surplus, you are on the way to profitability. To calculate the profitability of a property on Airbnb, you need to take into account both the income generated by the rental and the costs associated with running the accommodation.
Airbnb profitability formula: profitability = net monthly income / initial investment × 100
Net monthly income: rental income after deducting operating costs such as cleaning fees, Airbnb service fees, local taxes, and other variable costs (e.g. water, electricity, internet).
Initial investment: this includes the purchase cost of the property, renovation or furnishing costs (furniture, decoration, equipment), as well as management fees (if you outsource listing management).
Example of profitability calculation:
Monthly income: :
- Average nightly rate: €100
- Occupancy rate: 70% (approx. 21 nights per month)
- Gross monthly income: €100 × 21 nights = €2,100
- Airbnb fees (15%): €2,100 × 0.15 = €315
- Net monthly income: €2,100 – €315 = €1,785
Monthly profitability = €1,785 / €210,000 × 100 = 0.85%
Thus, the monthly profitability would be 0.85%. To calculate annual profitability, multiply this figure by 12, giving an annual profitability of 10.2%.
Interpretation :
A profitability of 0.85% per month or 10.2% per year is considered relatively good, especially for investments in areas where property prices are high. However, profitability may fluctuate depending on occupancy, rental prices and fixed costs. It is essential to regularly reassess your income and expenses to optimise your profitability.
Variables to take into account:
Fixed costs: property tax, insurance, maintenance, management.
Variable costs: cleaning, consumables, Airbnb fees.
Seasonality: peak demand periods (holidays, events) can increase rental prices, while low seasons can reduce occupancy.
This calculation will help you evaluate whether your investment is profitable and how long it will take you to recover your initial investment.
Choose the right location:
Location is a key factor in optimising Airbnb profitability and rental income. Some towns or villages are not suitable for Airbnb due to a lack of tourism, while others show increasing demand.
Get good ratings and reviews:
Travellers pay close attention to reviews. The higher the ratings, the higher the occupancy rate. This rate increases further if you achieve Airbnb Superhost status.
Offer a unique property:
Unique accommodations (tiny houses, yurts, etc.) help you stand out and can even offset a less ideal location, as travellers book for the property itself.
