One booking, three ways to run it.
Self-managed, a traditional property manager, or Hostmizer. Change any number — rate, fees, your time — and watch what actually lands in your pocket.
How this is calculated: the booking channel takes its commission on the full amount the guest pays, cleaning included. Management fees apply to the accommodation only, never to cleaning — the cleaning fee goes straight through to the cleaner, no markup. Even a traditional property manager leaves roughly 10% of the work with you (approvals, questions, coordination), so a tenth of your self-managed hours is counted there. Hostmizer runs your rental remotely (guests, pricing, listings, bookings); you keep a small local role, which is why your hours are low but not zero.
About the math
It's a directional model, not a quote — but every assumption is yours to edit. Adjust the channel commission, management percentages, rate uplift and hours to match your market, and the bars update instantly. For a precise, expert-prepared figure, request a free revenue estimate.
Hostmizer runs your rental remotely: guest messaging, pricing, listings and bookings are handled for you. You keep a small local role — for example coordinating your cleaner or being reachable for on-site issues — so we count a modest amount of your time rather than pretending it's zero.
No. Like-for-like with every option in this calculator, management fees apply to the accommodation only. The cleaning fee passes straight through to the cleaner with no markup.
Full-service local managers commonly charge 20–30% of rental income, often with setup fees or fixed-term contracts. The calculator defaults to 25% — adjust it to any quote you've received to compare like for like.
Hosts who ran the numbers.
Outcomes from hosts who compared their options and chose Hostmizer.
“I went from €1,800 to €2,600 per month in the first 90 days. The dynamic pricing alone paid for the service ten times over.”
“I was spending 8 hours a week on messages. Now it's zero — and my guests get faster, better answers than when I did it myself.”
“My listing manager spotted a local marathon weekend I had priced normally. That one tip earned me an extra €800. Hostmizer pays for itself.”
