Our Long-Term Let vs Airbnb Profit Calculator is designed to help property owners compare the potential profitability of two popular rental strategies using their own estimated figures. Rather than relying on averages or assumptions, the calculator uses the information you provide to generate a personalised comparison of your property’s earning potential.

To calculate your results, simply enter your expected monthly long-term rental income, Airbnb nightly rate, occupancy rate, available nights, average stay length, cleaning fee, and your estimated monthly running costs. The calculator also takes into account optional platform and management fees, giving you a more realistic estimate of your potential returns.

Using these figures, the calculator estimates and compares:

• Long-Term Let Monthly Profit – Your estimated monthly income after landlord costs.

• Airbnb Monthly Profit – Your estimated monthly profit after fees and operating costs.

• Long-Term Let Annual Profit – Your projected yearly profit from a traditional tenancy.

• Airbnb Annual Profit – Your projected yearly profit from short-term letting.

• Estimated Better Option – A side-by-side comparison showing which rental strategy could generate the higher annual return based on your inputs.

Whether you’re deciding how to let a new investment property or considering switching from a traditional tenancy to Airbnb, this calculator provides a fast, easy-to-understand comparison that can support more informed financial decisions. Simply adjust the figures to explore different scenarios and see how changes in pricing, occupancy or costs can affect your potential profits.
