How many nights a month must your homestay be booked to break even?

A homestay breaks even when booked-night revenue covers monthly fixed costs and every guest turnover. Enter rent or loan, utilities, internet, insurance, maintenance, cost per stay, nightly rate and average stay length. This tool finds the first whole booked night at which the month no longer loses money.

How does this calculator work?

For each night count from one to thirty, revenue = nights x nightly rate. Bookings = nights divided by average nights per stay, rounded up. Cost = fixed costs + bookings x cost per stay. Break-even is the first whole night where revenue is at least equal to cost.

The calculation runs in your browser; no figures are sent anywhere. Checked 22 October 2026.
