Vacation rental income calculator for luxury villas

Most rental income calculators read Airbnb. The villas that matter at the top of this market are let privately and appear on no platform, so a platform-based tool cannot see them. This one is built from operator data, and it counts nights actually sold rather than applying an occupancy percentage. That single difference is usually worth a factor of two.

How this is calculated. Gross yield is our gross annual income divided by the price you enter. Net self-managed removes a 15.5% platform fee. Net via agency removes that market's agency commission, which runs 25 to 35% in this segment and is the single largest cost most owners never see quantified. None of these figures deduct your own costs: staff, utilities, maintenance, local taxes and income tax. A yield calculated on gross income is not a return.

What this calculator does that the others do not

It counts nights, not percentages. An occupancy rate multiplied by 365 overstates a seasonal market by roughly a factor of two. We publish the nights a villa really sells in each market, and multiply by the rate.

It shows you the commission. Self-managing on a platform costs about 15.5% of what the guest pays. Through an agency in this segment it runs 25 to 35%, and at the top of the market 35 to 45% once the local agency takes its half. Nobody publishes that number, because every party in the chain benefits from the owner not knowing it.

It tells you when it does not know. Markets we have not had confirmed by an operator on the ground are marked as our estimate on their own page. We would rather say so than manufacture a certainty.

Questions

Is this vacation rental income calculator free?

Yes, and it always will be for owners. We are paid by partners, never by the owner whose villa is being valued. Nothing on this page is stored or sent anywhere.

How is this different from an Airbnb calculator?

Airbnb calculators read Airbnb. The villas at the top of this market are let privately, agency to client, and appear on no public platform, so a platform-based tool cannot see them and understates them badly. We build from operator data instead. We also count nights actually sold rather than applying an occupancy percentage, which is the single largest source of error in published estimates.

Why do you not use an occupancy rate?

Because it overstates a seasonal market by roughly a factor of two. Fifty percent occupancy sounds precise and means 182 sold nights. Saint-Tropez sells about 55 premium nights in an entire year. Any figure built on occupancy times 365 is wrong for this segment.

Can it calculate rental yield?

Yes. Yield is income divided by price. We supply the income, you supply the price you are actually being quoted, and the table on this page works out the gross yield, the yield net of a platform fee, and the yield net of agency commission.

How accurate is it?

It is a benchmark for a well-maintained four-bedroom villa of good finish, not a valuation of your specific property. Markets confirmed by an operator on the ground say so on their page; the rest are marked as our estimate, plainly, rather than dressed up as certainty. For a figure on your own villa, use the estimator: three questions and a free report.
