FAQ
What is an effective management fee?+
The total estimated owner-paid management-related cost divided by gross booking revenue under the assumptions entered.
Why include maintenance markup?+
Some agreements add a percentage to vendor invoices; even a modest markup can materially change total annual cost.
Should cleaning be counted as an owner cost?+
It depends on the agreement and whether the guest charge fully covers the service; the calculator lets you model the actual treatment.
Does the cheaper proposal create the highest owner return?+
Not necessarily. Pricing, distribution, guest experience, property care, and contract scope can affect revenue and long-term cost.
