Short-term rental property management
With us, you earn 4% more than if you take care of the apartment yourself. But most importantly, you save 960 hours per year, and you will be able to sleep well at night.

Let your apartment earn 4% more with Airbnb management.
- Short-term rentals are intended primarily for owners of flats and apartments in city centers or in tourist areas. The rental period ranges from a few days to one year.
- In addition to a higher yield compared to long-term rentals, the advantage of short-term rentals is that the apartment suffers less wear and tear. It is not busy all the time and tourists or managers (the most frequent type of guests) usually use it only for sleeping in.
- We take care of the entrusted apartment for you: We provide regular cleaning, inspections, all the administration, and take care of the guests.
- And best of all: If we agree on the administration of the apartment with guaranteed rental payments, then you receive the amount on your account every month on the exact day - even outside the tourist season.

Calculation results
How the estimate works
Long-term income is based on the monthly rent, adjusted for the number of vacancy days entered. Short-term income is the average nightly rate multiplied by the number of nights actually occupied. The calculator deducts the entered platform-fee percentage and the cost of each occupied night, then subtracts the annual operating costs entered for each option.
The estimate excludes income tax, financing, exceptional repairs and the value of your time. Enter each option’s costs separately and do not include service advances paid separately by the tenant or guest. This is an estimate, not a promise of a particular return.
Start with comparable assumptions
The comparison is useful only when both options describe the same flat and the same period. For a long-term tenancy, enter a realistic monthly rent excluding service advances. For short stays, use the average price of nights actually sold, not the highest rate from peak season. Use the same property value for both yields. The figures prefilled in the calculator are examples only; replace them with your own estimates or last year’s records.
Separate income from money that merely passes through your account. A refundable deposit is not a return. A service advance that you fully reconcile is not rental profit either. By contrast, platform commission, management, owner-paid cleaning, linen and guest supplies are costs when you actually bear them.
Vacancy and occupancy are different assumptions
For long-term letting, the calculator approximates annual receipts from monthly rent and the days the property is vacant. In practice, the timing of a tenant’s departure matters: preparing the flat, arranging viewings and signing the next agreement may create a longer gap than the empty days alone suggest. Enter a realistic average rather than an ideal year with no change of tenant.
For short stays, enter occupied nights directly. This is not the number of nights the property could theoretically be listed. Exclude repairs, dates reserved for your own use, seasonal declines and nights without a booking. If demand varies, calculate separate weak, typical and strong scenarios by changing the occupied-night assumption. One annual occupancy percentage can hide substantial differences between weekdays, weekends and seasons.
Use the realised nightly price
The average nightly rate may vary sharply over the year. Use the price guests actually paid after discounts and average it by nights sold. A simple average of advertised rates can overstate income when lower-priced dates account for most bookings. If you charge a separate cleaning fee, handle the related income and expense consistently. The calculator does not add or deduct it automatically because listings handle this charge differently.
Enter the effective share of booking revenue that you actually pay in platform fees. Platforms may charge the host, split fees between host and guest, or add payment costs. The headline rate in a pricing page may therefore differ from the amount on your statement. Use your own settlements for a cautious estimate and do not assume the fee will remain unchanged in future years.
Separate fixed and per-booking costs
For the long-term option, include costs you actually pay as the owner under your arrangement, such as management, insurance, routine maintenance or periods without rent. For short stays, account for more frequent cleaning, laundry, check-ins, guest supplies and booking administration. Put costs that rise with each occupied night in the per-night field; put annual costs that arise regardless of bookings in the fixed-cost field.
Avoid counting the same expense twice. If your annual total already includes cleaning or a manager’s fee, do not enter it again as a per-night expense. One-off replacement of furniture is easy to miss in a simple annual model. You can set aside an annual reserve for replacement and include it in operating costs, but keep it distinct from routine maintenance so you can see how much of the result depends on renewing the furnishings.
What the break-even nights tell you
The required-nights result estimates how many nights short-term accommodation must sell to match the long-term operating result at the prices, fees and costs you entered. Each additional booking night contributes the nightly price after platform charges and variable costs. The model first has to cover annual fixed costs; only then can short stays catch up with the long-term option.
If the estimate is above 365 nights, or says the threshold cannot be reached, it is not a forecast. It means that the combination of rate, costs and annual fixed expenses would not match even with a full calendar. Change one assumption at a time to see whether price, bookings, commission, cleaning or fixed management has the greatest effect. Remember that a higher rate may reduce demand and higher occupancy may increase operating costs.
Operating yield is not the owner’s final return
The operating result is not the amount left after every payment. This calculator does not deduct mortgage principal or interest, income tax, depreciation or a major renovation. Its yield divides the operating result by the property value you enter; it does not add acquisition costs or the initial furnishing budget. Treat it as a simple way to compare operating scenarios, not as a complete investment valuation.
For a purchase decision, add acquisition expenses and the initial fit-out, budget for replacement and distinguish the return before financing from the return on your own capital. With a loan, the same property can produce positive operating income and still put pressure on monthly cash flow after debt payments. When comparing rental models, consistent cost treatment matters more than a percentage calculated from a single chosen property value.
Assess legal and tax duties against the actual operation
This calculator cannot determine whether your activity is a residential tenancy or an accommodation service. The label on an advertisement and a short stay by themselves do not decide the classification. The way guests use the flat, the services you provide, the frequency of bookings and the wider operating arrangement may also matter. Different arrangements can carry different tax, trade-licensing and record-keeping duties.
Before launch, describe the actual process: who accepts reservations, who hands over the flat, how cleaning is arranged, whether services are provided during a stay and how payments are handled. Then check the requirements that apply to that specific model. This page is not individual legal or tax advice, and the calculation does not include a reserve for changes in obligations.
Include time, risk and seasonality
Short stays usually involve more frequent operational decisions: replying to enquiries, changing reservations, check-ins, cleaning, changing linen and resolving issues between bookings. Long-term rental involves fewer handovers, but a tenant change can require advertising, viewings, applicant checks and weeks of preparation. The calculator does not price your time or risk. You can include them in your own budget as a management charge or a separate hourly cost.
Seasonality also affects cash flow. Two options with the same annual result may feel very different if short-stay income arrives mainly in a few months. Consider whether you have reserves for a weak season, repairs and periods without guests. Check the building’s rules, neighbour impact and whether the property is suitable for frequent guest turnover. An annual total is a useful starting point, but sustainability also depends on when income arrives and how much work it requires.
Length of stay alone does not determine the legal or tax treatment. The actual nature of the service, how the flat is used and the circumstances of the accommodation also matter. Check the obligations that apply to your specific operating model before you start.

We take over the apartment and accommodate the guests

Do you have any questions?
Before contacting us, take a look at the FAQ.
- Why should I let you manage my apartment if I can do it myself?
- Yes, you certainly can, but before you decide, consider this: Professionally managed real estate usually achieves a higher (and more stable) occupancy, and therefore earns more than if it is managed by the owner themselves. Another reason is that we have many years of experience in dealing with various unpleasant situations during the rental. However, if you want to solve this on your own, it’s entirely up to you.
- How do you guarantee the condition of the apartment, equipment, and furniture? How do you prevent damage or loss?
- We compile a detailed list of furniture and equipment for each apartment under our administration. This is checked by our staff upon arrival and departure. In addition, we collect a reasonable deposit from each guest when booking the accommodation. We also have their credit card details. If anything happens to the apartment or its equipment, the guest pays for it - just like at a hotel.
- How do I check the number of bookings and how do I receive the rental payments?
- We collect all rental payments through a secure payment gateway on our website. For your review, each payment is recorded by our internal system, which you can easily find after entering the Client Zone. You can also see all outgoing payments (for energy, internet, etc.). After deducting the administrative fee, we transfer the amount to your bank account every month.
Pass it on and get money in hand
A good word pays off:
- 5 000 CZK per rental recommendation
