Owners can now generate a possible income range for their property using Staypilot’s Earnings Estimator Tool, which is driven by real short-term rental data from their local area.

When first exploring the possibilities of the short-term rental market, prospective homeowners often find it challenging to understand what is required to list their home, and more importantly, how much they stand to benefit from offering their home on platforms such as Airbnb, Booking.com and Expedia.
There are multiple factors to consider when calculating the potential income range of a property on the short stay rental market. Not only do you have to consider how much a property can earn per night - you must also have an understanding of local occupancy rates, booking platform fees, cleaning fees, management fees and other potential running costs.
For beginner short-term rental owners without an airbnb property manager, these factors are not easily accessible. That's why we have created an interactive tool for owners to generate a potential income range for their property.
Introducing our Earnings Estimator Tool for owners
Our Earnings Estimator Tool utilises Staypilot’s database of local short-term rental properties, as well as historical and current data on short stay running costs, to generate a personalised potential income range. With only a suburb, property type and number of bedrooms as inputs - our tool will search our database and in just a few seconds, provide you with an estimate.
Importantly, the income range generated is net of running costs, meaning that the range provided already takes into account the major expenses associated with running a short-term rental home. Unlike other estimates, owners can get a better idea of how much return they will actually receive with our estimator tool.
