Cleaner invoices and turnovers
Supplies, utilities, repairs, software
Estimates only. Check your actual platform fee setup, taxes, refunds, and property costs before making decisions.
Use your own Vrbo assumptions
Vrbo pricing and fee arrangements can differ by listing and plan. Enter the nightly rate, cleaning fees, and platform percentage that reflect the property you are evaluating instead of relying on a fixed fee claim.
Track revenue and costs separately
Guest-paid cleaning fees can increase gross revenue, but the cleaner invoice is an owner cost. Keeping both visible avoids treating the collected amount as pure profit.
Estimate first, reconcile from CSVs later
This is a planning calculator. For a completed month, import Vrbo exports and bank or card CSVs to review actual income, fees, adjustments, and expenses by property.

FAQ
Common questions
What Vrbo fee percentage should I use?
Use the percentage that applies to your own Vrbo listing and plan. The calculator keeps it editable because fee arrangements can differ.
Does the calculator include taxes or mortgage payments?
No. Add only the operating costs you want to evaluate here, then use your own accounting and tax process for tax, financing, and compliance decisions.
Can I track actual Vrbo expenses in HostPayout?
Yes. Upload Vrbo, bank, or card CSVs and review income and expenses before they appear in property-level reports.
