Monthly gross booking revenue
Wizard separates nightly revenue from optional flat fees—toggle-driven fields show how Calclet handles Airbnb-style add-ons.
Example scenario
An urban STR operator models $185 average nightly rate across blended weekday and weekend pacing with eighteen booked nights in the reference month after blocking owner stays and maintenance holds. With the flat monthly cleaning fee toggle left off at defaults, gross booking revenue sums to $3,330 before channel commissions and lodging taxes. Turning on the optional $165 monthly cleaning pass-through would lift the headline gross run-rate toward $3,495 while payout reconciliation still nets host fees and transient occupancy levies elsewhere.

How to use the monthly gross booking revenue
- In Calendar, input average nightly rate ($) from channel calendars net of coupons only if that matches how you define ADR internally.
- Input booked nights per month using reservation counts aligned to check-in dates minus owner blocks.
- In Fees, toggle flat cleaning fee collection and input dollars only when guests pay predictable monthly linen turnovers.
- Read estimated gross monthly revenue and compare shoulder-season scenarios before underwriting debt coverage.
STR revenue planning context
- ADR versus payout
- Average nightly rate should mirror guest-paid ADR before OTA commissions unless you intentionally model net payouts inside rate inputs.
- Occupancy realism
- Destination markets swing seasonally; anchor booked nights per month on trailing twelve-month occupancy bands rather than peak-week snapshots.
- Fee stacking clarity
- Cleaning and resort-style fees vary by platform presentation—keep them consistent month-to-month when trending gross booking revenue.
Best use cases
- Forecasting and scenario planning
- Client education and pre-qualification
- Budget and performance decision support
FAQs
Should average nightly rate include cleaning bundled into Airbnb totals?
Either strip cleaning into the optional fee line or embed it in ADR—double-counting inflates gross revenue figures.
Does gross booking revenue subtract platform commissions?
No. Treat payouts and merchant fees separately unless you deliberately redefine ADR as net-to-host.
How do cross-listed calendars affect booked nights?
Dedupe reservations across Airbnb and VRBO exports so occupied nights do not stack unrealistically high.
Why cap booked nights at thirty-one?
Inputs guard impossible occupancy; adjust monthly cadence when modeling thirty-day-plus extended stays differently.
