Enter your units, nightly rate, occupancy ramp, cleaning fees, platform commission and running costs, and it builds a 36-month model on the real nights in each month, with occupancy tax kept out of your revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Your PDF guide has a link that makes your own Google Sheets copy in one click, with no upload needed. It also works in Excel 2019 or later and Microsoft 365.

Does it work for a B&B, guest house or small hotel?

Yes. Count each room as a unit and use the breakfast and bar lines for food and drink sales, each with its own cost. Set the platform share to the share of bookings that come through Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com.

How does it handle occupancy tax and Airbnb fees?

Occupancy or tourist tax is shown as collected from guests and paid on, never as your revenue. Platform commission is its own line, worked out on the share of bookings that come through platforms, with a separate payment fee for direct bookings.

Is it a download or a subscription?
