Airbnb Profit Calculator (Evaluation)
Excellent question, “how much can I make on Airbnb?” when you intend to list on Airbnb. But what about the Airbnb income calculator? Well. It’s simple to say how much you’ll make. It’s more difficult to say if you’ll make some money, okay money, reasonable money or if you’ll excel. We will tell you, compared to other Airbnbs, if your place will be a Dragger or a Wower (Read it all here).
You get some great Airbnb profitability calculators; they only use your property address and the number of bedrooms to calculate your Airbnb profitability. Well, let’s look at….
Personally, I believe the calculators may lull you into listing your accommodation as very few people in Cape Town would not list their accommodation on Airbnb Profit Calculator if they can get the above. You may even consider buying a property because of the high potential Airbnb income. Mistake.
We believe you must crawl before you run. And let’s rather be conservative.
And consider other factors as well.
Your potential income cannot be based on your neighborhood and number of rooms only; yes, it’s a good start but what about the host’s attitude towards guests, your rules (minimum stays, cancellation policy, discounts, etc.), your location in relation to the beach (or related major attractions), pool, jacuzzi, features, willingness to invest in staging and professional photos? And the list of critical Airbnb income drivers grows.
It is for this reason that we developed an in-house Airbnb quiz to try and determine if your Airbnb Profit Calculator accommodation will make money. No bull.
The quiz, obviously, depends on your honesty. But the verdict will be better than using an Airbnb profitability calculator. It may not answer your question; How much can I make on Airbnb? Calculator. No. But when you get the results from the Airbnb Profitability Quiz, you will know; if your Airbnb accommodation will make money or not and what you need to correct it.
