What nightly rate should you charge?
In Malaysia, a homestay nightly rate is not a monthly rent divided by thirty. Only booked nights earn, the platform takes its cut of every booking, and each booking needs a clean however short it is. This calculator works out the nightly rate that covers all of it.

How does this calculator work?
Booked nights are thirty nights times your occupancy. Bookings are booked nights divided by the average nights per booking, rounded up because a part booking still needs cleaning. Fixed costs plus cleaning plus profit are grossed up through the platform fee, then spread over the nights actually booked.
Frequently asked questions
Take your fixed cost for the month, add the cleaning cost for every booking you expect, add the profit you want, gross that total up through the platform fee, then divide by the nights you expect to be booked.
