Scenario One

• Cabin Spend: $60,000
• Daily Rate: $200
• Occupancy Rate: 60% (219 days/year)
• Annual Gross Income: $200 x 219 = $43,800
• Airbnb Charge (3%): $43,800 x 3% = $1,314
• Annual Net Income (Before Running Costs): $43,800 - $1,314 = $42,486
• Estimated Running Costs: $6,450/year
• Annual Net Income (After Running Costs): $42,486 - $6,450 = $36,036
• Payback Time: $60,000 / $36,036 ≈ 1.67 years
• 10-Year ROI: ($36,036 x 10) - $60,000 = $300,360
• Average Yearly ROI: ($36,036 / $60,000) x 100 ≈ 60.06%
  
  

Scenario Two

• Cabin Spend: $70,000
• Daily Rate: $250
• Occupancy Rate: 60% (219 days/year)
• Annual Gross Income: $250 x 219 = $54,750
• Airbnb Charge (3%): $54,750 x 3% = $1,643
• Annual Net Income (Before Running Costs): $54,750 - $1,643 = $53,108
• Estimated Running Costs: $6,450/year
• Annual Net Income (After Running Costs): $53,108 - $6,450 = $46,658
• Payback Time: $70,000 / $46,658 ≈ 1.50 years
• 10-Year ROI: ($46,658 x 10) - $70,000 = $396,580
• Average Yearly ROI: ($46,658 / $70,000) x 100 ≈ 66.65%
  

Scenario Three

• Cabin Spend: $80,000
• Daily Rate: $300
• Occupancy Rate: 60% (219 days/year)
• Annual Gross Income: $300 x 219 = $65,700
• Airbnb Charge (3%): $65,700 x 3% = $1,971
• Annual Net Income (Before Running Costs): $65,700 - $1,971 = $63,729
• Estimated Running Costs: $6,450/year
• Annual Net Income (After Running Costs): $63,729 - $6,450 = $57,279
• Payback Time: $80,000 / $57,279 ≈ 1.40 years
• 10-Year ROI: ($57,279 x 10) - $80,000 = $492,790
• Average Yearly ROI: ($57,279 / $80,000) x 100 ≈ 71.60%

Scenario Four

• Cabin Spend: $90,000
• Daily Rate: $350
• Occupancy Rate: 60% (219 days/year)
• Annual Gross Income: $350 x 219 = $76,650
• Airbnb Charge (3%): $76,650 x 3% = $2,300
• Annual Net Income (Before Running Costs): $76,650 - $2,300 = $74,351
• Estimated Running Costs: $6,450/year
• Annual Net Income (After Running Costs): $74,351 - $6,450 = $67,901
• Payback Time: $90,000 / $67,901 ≈ 1.33 years
• 10-Year ROI: ($67,901 x 10) - $90,000 = $589,010
• Average Yearly ROI: ($67,901 / $90,000) x 100 ≈ 75.45%

Scenario Five

• Cabin Spend: $100,000
• Daily Rate: $400
• Occupancy Rate: 60% (219 days/year)
• Annual Gross Income: $400 x 219 = $87,600
• Airbnb Charge (3%): $87,600 x 3% = $2,628
• Annual Net Income (Before Running Costs): $87,600 - $2,628 = $84,972
• Estimated Running Costs: $6,450/year
• Annual Net Income (After Running Costs): $84,972 - $6,450 = $78,522
• Payback Time: $100,000 / $78,522 ≈ 1.27 years
• 10-Year ROI: ($78,522 x 10) - $100,000 = $685,220
• Average Yearly ROI: ($78,522 / $100,000) x 100 ≈ 78.52%

Assumptions

• Room occupancy: We went with what we think is a super low estimate of 60% occupancy. We would expect this to increase with the cabin spend. 
• Day rates: We increased with how much you spend on the cabin
• AirBnB 3%
• Estimated running costs: for each cabin scenario were derived by considering average monthly utility expenses for a single-room cabin, cleaning costs based on a cleaning service every three days during occupancy, and an annual allocation for maintenance and miscellaneous expenses, providing a realistic approximation of the ongoing expenses associated with maintaining and operating a cabin rental.
