Try sample CSVs firstEstimate income from your own booking assumptions
Enter the nightly rate and booked nights for the month you want to estimate. This calculator uses your inputs, not local market or occupancy forecasts. Vrbo fee arrangements differ by listing and plan, so replace the example platform percentage with the one that applies to your property. If your starting payout already has platform fees deducted, do not subtract them again — add only owner-paid expenses.
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.
Is this a Vrbo rental income forecast?
No. It estimates revenue and profit from the nightly rate, booked nights, and costs you enter. It does not use address-level rental data or predict demand. Compare more than one occupancy scenario before relying on an estimate.
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.
Should I subtract platform fees again if I start from the payout?
No. If the payout you start from already has Vrbo fees deducted, add only owner-paid expenses that are not already in it. Start from gross booking revenue instead if you want the fee shown separately.
