How to use this calculator

Enter your property address and select the number of bedrooms. The calculator returns an estimated monthly income based on average nightly rates and occupancy for your area. It covers all 27 cities Houst operates across, from London and Edinburgh to Sydney, Dubai and Cape Town.

The estimate is based on real performance data from Houst-managed properties in your area. It adjusts for local demand, seasonality and property size. If you want to see how your property compares against others, the Airbnb investment calculator lets you compare up to 3 properties side by side.

Which cities have the best Airbnb returns?

Returns vary significantly by city. Based on Houst's data from 519 managed properties, Paris and Dublin outperform London on average annual net revenue. Within the UK, Edinburgh delivers the highest average nightly rate at £330.90, while Manchester offers the strongest yield relative to acquisition cost.

For a full city-by-city breakdown with real data, see the guide to Airbnb returns by city.

London hosts earn an average of £38,148 per year net from a 2-bedroom property. Edinburgh hosts average £33,706 for a 1-bed at 88.8% occupancy. Manchester hosts average £20,628 at 76.5% occupancy for a 2-bed.

For a breakdown of the best areas within London specifically, see the guide to the best areas in London for Airbnb.

What affects your Airbnb income?

Three variables drive most of the variation between properties in the same city.

Location within the city. A central property outperforms an equivalent one in an outer area by a significant margin. The calculator accounts for this using your specific address rather than a city-wide average.

Occupancy management. The difference between 65% and 80% occupancy on a property with a £150 nightly rate is approximately £8,200 per year. Dynamic pricing and proactive calendar management are the main levers. For a full look at how occupancy varies by market, see the guide to Airbnb occupancy rates by city.

Management approach. Professionally managed properties typically achieve higher occupancy and ADR than self-managed ones. For a full breakdown of what management costs and what the return looks like, see the guide to Airbnb management fees.
