How do I add or edit expenses?

To edit expenses in a BNBCalc analysis, click the pencil next to Operating Expenses in the Profit box, change any field under Utilities, Maintenance or Management, and click Save. The expense list is fixed, so costs without their own field go under Other. To reuse your numbers on other analyses, save them as a preset.

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

To use your own numbers in a BNBCalc analysis, scroll to Annual Revenue, switch on Manual revenue input and type an annual revenue, daily rate or occupancy, and BNBCalc recalculates the linked figure. To keep the estimate tied to real listings instead, untick comps or use Filters, or run AI Underwriter on a US property.

How do I export an analysis to PDF or Excel, or share it?

To save a BNBCalc analysis as a PDF, click Print, check the report in Review & print, then choose Save as PDF in your browser's print window. Click Excel to download a spreadsheet; on a free account, that needs a paid plan or a trial. Click Share to copy a view-only link that anyone can open without signing in.

How do I filter, include or exclude comps?

In a BNBCalc analysis, untick a comp in the comps table to leave it out of the revenue estimate, or click Filters next to Select comps to keep only houses or apartments, homes with a pool, hot tub or pets allowed, or listings rated 4.8 stars and up. The estimate updates as you go.

What is the BNBCalc Calculator and what does it estimate?

The BNBCalc Calculator estimates what a property would earn as a short-term rental and what you'd keep after costs. Enter an address and it returns annual revenue, daily rate and occupancy from nearby comps, then works through expenses, financing, cash flow, returns and US tax savings. A new account gets 2 free analyses; after that it's $30 a month.

What's the difference between Buy, Own, Rent and Cohost analyses?

BNBCalc has four analysis types. Buy models purchasing a home to run as a short-term rental, with a new mortgage. Own models a home you already own. Rent models rental arbitrage, where you lease a home and list it on Airbnb. Cohost models managing someone else's home for a commission. You choose the type before you run the analysis.
