Questions answered
Nightly rate questions
How do I work out the right nightly rate?
Start from what comparable listings near your address actually earn per booked night — the ADR this calculator reports — then adjust for your property’s finish, photos, and review base. New listings typically launch 10–15% under market ADR to build reviews, then raise rates.
Should my nightly rate change through the year?
Yes — a flat rate leaves money on the table in peak season and sits empty in the trough. The report’s seasonality chart shows how revenue distributes by month; a dynamic pricing tool automates the daily adjustments.
Is a higher nightly rate always better?
No. Revenue is rate times occupancy — the percentile band in the report shows what the market bears. Price above the 75th percentile only if your property genuinely outclasses the comp set.
Under the hood
Where the numbers come from
Nightly rate calculator estimates are built from comparable short-term rentals near the exact address you enter — real nightly rates and booked nights, not metro-wide averages. Treat any instant estimate as a ceiling: established comps outperform launch-year listings, so model year one at 60–75% of the projection (our AirDNA Rentalizer analysis explains why). Then turn the revenue number into cash flow with the free pro forma builder, guided by the Airbnb pro forma template checklist.
