Break-even occupancy calculator

Calculate the occupancy rate a property must hit to break even, given your monthly fixed costs, average nightly rate, and per-stay variable costs. A lower break-even means a more resilient property.

Your costs and rate

Break-even occupancy
56.5%
18 booked nights / month

At these costs, this property looks workable.

  • Under 50% break-even → resilient in soft seasons
  • 50–70% → workable but watch the shoulder months
  • Over 70% → fragile; small dips wipe out profit

Break-even is the floor, not a target. Aim comfortably above it.

How this tool works

  • Contribution per booked night = average daily rate × (1 − variable-cost %).
  • Break-even nights per month = monthly fixed costs ÷ contribution per night.
  • Break-even occupancy = break-even nights ÷ 30.4 (average nights per month).
  • Variable costs cover platform fees plus per-night cleaning/supply allocation. Estimates are illustrative.
