Break-even Occupancy
The occupancy you need each month before the property starts making a profit.
What it's for
Shows the occupancy a short-term rental needs each month before it stops losing money, once platform fees and per-stay costs are taken off.
Decisions it helps with
- • Whether a property you're considering can realistically cover its costs
- • How low you can drop your nightly rate before you start losing money
- • Whether a quiet month is a pricing problem or a cost problem
When you'd use it
You're looking at a two-bed flat with £1,850 a month of fixed costs and expect about £135 a night. Before you commit, you check it needs roughly 16 booked nights a month to break even, and decide whether that's realistic for the area in winter.
