Short-Term Rental Revenue Management Calculator

STR revenue management balances ADR (average daily rate) and occupancy to maximise RevPAR (revenue per available night). This calculator surfaces whether your property is underpriced (low ADR, high occupancy) or overpriced (high ADR, low occupancy).

RevPAR Is The North Star

RevPAR (revenue per available night) is ADR × occupancy. Maximising RevPAR matters more than maximising either input alone. A property at $250 ADR / 40% occupancy ($100 RevPAR) underperforms a property at $150 ADR / 80% occupancy ($120 RevPAR).

Dynamic Pricing Lift

AirDNA 2026 reports professional revenue-managed STRs achieve 18-32% RevPAR lift over manually priced listings. The lift comes from automatic peak-day surge pricing, low-demand window discounting, and orphan-night minimum-stay adjustments.

Comp Set Selection

Build a comp set of 8-12 listings within 1 mile, same bedroom count, similar amenities and photo quality. AirDNA, PriceLabs, and Wheelhouse pull this automatically. Stale comp sets are the most common source of pricing errors.
