Tap an example to prefill the calculator with sample values.
Urban short-term rental
Mid-priced property with solid occupancy
A common scenario where the nightly rate is attractive but fixed costs still demand healthy occupancy.
Result: Healthy short-term ROI with a clear comparison against long-term rent
Vacation market premium
Higher nightly rate with stronger cash invested
Useful for checking whether a destination-market nightly premium justifies the larger upfront cash requirement.
Result: Strong revenue potential but a slower payback on invested cash
Marginal occupancy market
Lower occupancy with tighter nightly pricing
A reality check for markets where short-term demand is weaker and the long-term option may still win.
Result: Thin margin with a more difficult occupancy threshold
