How We Rank Markets

For US markets, BNBCalc ranks state market pages by gross yield: annual Airbnb and Vrbo short-term rental revenue divided by estimated property value. Gross yield is a fast way to compare market-level opportunity before operating expenses, financing, taxes, insurance, seasonality, and local rules.

  • Annual revenue uses ADR, adjusted occupancy, and estimated cleaning revenue when cleaning and stay data exists.

  • ADR is nightly-only and excludes cleaning fees and other guest fees.

  • Occupancy is adjusted occupancy of bookable nights, excluding host-blocked nights.

  • Gross yield uses annual revenue divided by estimated property value; it does not include operating expenses, financing, taxes, or local regulation risk.
