WHAT DRIVES YOUR NIGHTLY RATE
Vacation rental guests look at different things than long-term tenants. Staying only a few nights, they pay close attention to:
- Nearby attractions and easy access
- Location
- Overall condition of the home
- Furnishings
- Décor and architecture
- How many guests it sleeps
- The little extras and amenities on offer.
To delight guests and set a nightly rate that comfortably covers your costs, every detail matters. Once you've weighed all of these factors, you can estimate your revenue with confidence.
CALCULATE YOUR POTENTIAL REVENUE
START WITH YOUR BREAK-EVEN RATE
First, know your break-even rate: the minimum nightly rate you need to cover your costs. Below it, every booking loses money.
List every cost tied to the home:
- Mortgage
- Renovation work
- Setup and staging
- Furniture
- Listing and marketing costs
- Cleaning
- Co-hosting fees or your own time
- Insurance
- Utilities
- Internet
- Maintenance
Together, these costs set your baseline. Keeping them in mind gives you a clear view of the nightly rate you need. Add a healthy margin for the unexpected, and for a comfortable income.
