How do I change the revenue, daily rate or occupancy in an analysis?

Typing in your own numbers

If you already know what the home earns, from its booking history for example, you can skip the comps and enter the figures yourself:

1. Sign in, open your analysis and scroll to Annual Revenue.
2. Switch on Manual revenue input at the top of the section. Clicking any of the three greyed-out fields under it switches it on too.
3. Type a number into Annual Revenue, Daily Rate or Occupancy, then press Enter or click away.

The three fields are linked, so changing one moves another:

Annual Revenue also has a slider that steps through what the comps earned, and the line under it, such as "72nd revenue percentile", tells you where your figure ranks among them. That's a quick way to sanity-check a number: if your revenue sits above nearly every comp, it's worth asking why your home would beat them all.

When you first switch Manual revenue input on, the fields start at the 70th percentile of all the comps and that becomes the headline straight away. Zero or a blank field isn't accepted, so the field goes back to its last value. While it's on, the line under the headline reads "Manual override" and the comps no longer move the estimate. To return to the comps estimate, switch it off or click Select comps or AI Underwriter.

Only the analysis's creator sees Manual revenue input, and changes in this section save automatically while you're signed in.

Steering the comps estimate instead

If you'd rather keep the estimate tied to real listings, change which comps it uses. A new analysis opens at the 70th percentile of its comps. Your first change in this section switches it to a median instead: with Top 50% of comps ticked, as it is to start, that's the median of the top-earning half of all the comps, narrowed by whatever you've set. It doesn't switch back to the opening figure afterwards.

From there, you've got two options under Choose your underwriting style. Select comps lets you untick comps that aren't a fair match, use Filters to keep only certain kinds of home, or drag a revenue range on the bar chart. AI Underwriter has AI compare each comp's photos, layout and amenities with your home and uses the median of the closest matches. It works on US properties with at least 4 comps, and on a free account it needs a free analysis you haven't used yet. How does BNBCalc estimate revenue for a property? explains how each median is worked out.

Changing the bedrooms

Changing the home itself changes the estimate too. Click Edit at the top of the analysis, change Bedrooms and click Save, and BNBCalc fetches a new set of comps and a new revenue estimate for that bedroom count. Since those are different comps, check the comps table again afterwards. Bathrooms and Max Guests save without refreshing the revenue, though, and you can't change the address of an existing analysis, so run a new one for a different address.
