Factors that affect your Airbnb income

📍
Location within your city
Properties in central areas with good transport links consistently achieve higher ADR and occupancy. A London flat in Shoreditch will typically outperform one in Outer Zones.
🏠
Property size and type
More bedrooms generally means higher nightly rate. Entire homes outperform private rooms on a per-property basis.
📷
Presentation and photography
Well-photographed listings achieve significantly higher occupancy. Professional photography is one of the highest-return investments a host can make.
📈
Dynamic pricing
Hosts who adjust nightly rates in response to demand, local events and seasonality achieve meaningfully higher annual revenue than those on fixed rates.
Guest reviews
A property with consistent 5-star ratings achieves higher organic search ranking on Airbnb and typically commands a premium nightly rate.
🏥
Multi-platform listing
Listing on Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo simultaneously increases reach and fills gaps in the calendar. Houst manages all platforms automatically.

How much can I make on Airbnb?

How accurate is this calculator?
The estimate is based on local market data and Houst's pricing model for your city. It reflects typical nightly rates and occupancy patterns for properties like yours in that area. It is a realistic ballpark figure, not a guarantee. Your actual earnings will depend on your property's specific location, size, condition and presentation. Estimates are most accurate in cities where Houst has the deepest market knowledge: London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Dublin and Sydney.
How much do Airbnb hosts make on average in the UK?
It varies significantly by city and property. A 2-bedroom flat in London averages around £38,000 net per year at 81% occupancy. Edinburgh averages around £33,000 at 75% occupancy. Manchester and Bristol are typically in the £20,000 to £28,000 range. Use the calculator above to get a city-specific estimate for your address.
Does the estimate include Houst's management fee?
Yes. The net income figure shown is after Houst's management fee. Houst charges from 12% in London, Paris and Dubai, and from 14% in other markets. VAT applies where relevant. You can read more about what Houst's management fee includes and whether management is worth it.
Can I use this calculator if I am not in the UK?
Yes. The calculator covers all 27 cities Houst operates in, including Dublin, Paris, Lisbon, Dubai, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Gold Coast, Auckland and Cape Town. Currency and fee rate adjust automatically based on the address you enter.
What is the 90-night rule and does it affect my earnings?
In London, you can let your property on Airbnb for a maximum of 90 nights per calendar year without planning permission. Exceeding this requires a Change of Use application to your local council. Read the full guide to Airbnb rules in London.
Should I manage my property myself or use a management company?
Self-managing saves the management fee but requires significant time: guest communications, check-ins, housekeeping, pricing and compliance. Houst-managed properties typically achieve higher occupancy and ADR, which offsets part of the fee. The is Airbnb management worth it guide covers the trade-offs in full.
Want to compare multiple properties?
Use the multi-property investment calculator to compare up to three addresses side by side in a single view.
