Occupancy Break-Even Analysis
The exact occupancy rate you need to cover all expenses — know your floor.
How Break-Even Occupancy Is Calculated
Break-even occupancy is the minimum percentage of nights you need to be booked — at your modeled nightly rates — to cover all annual expenses including mortgage, operating costs, and platform fees. Below this number, you're losing money.
- Accounts for all 12 monthly rate variations
- Uses weighted average nightly rate across the year
- Includes all fixed and variable expenses
- Displays as a % — easy to compare against market averages
Using Break-Even to Set Your Minimum Rate
If the market supports 55% occupancy and your break-even is 48%, you have comfortable margin. If break-even is 72% and the market only delivers 60%, you need to raise rates or cut expenses. This tool makes that math instant.
- Compare break-even against local Airbnb occupancy data
- Test different rate structures to lower the break-even
- Identify which expense categories have the biggest impact
- Build a pricing strategy around the margin you need
