How the math works

Co-host = revenue × commission + stays × trip charge. Net = revenue − co-host − cleaning paid through.

$75k × 12% + 85 × $50 = $9k + $4,250 = $13,250. $75k − $13.25k − $9k = $52,750 net.

How this calculator works

What this page estimates

This STR Co-Host Revenue Share Calculator is built to give a quick, browser-based estimate for str co-host revenue share. Co-hosts handle on-site duties at lower cost than full-service property management. The inputs stay on the page during normal use, and the result should be treated as an estimate for planning, comparison, or education rather than professional advice.

Calculation approach

The calculator applies the standard relationship implied by the inputs, then formats the answer so it can be checked and reused. For finance tools, the most important step is using consistent units, rates, time periods, and assumptions before comparing the result with another calculator or outside quote.

Example workflow

For example, start with a realistic value you already know, change one input at a time, and watch how the answer moves. That makes it easier to tell whether the result is being driven by the main amount, the rate, the time period, or a unit conversion.

Practical checks

  • Use current, real-world numbers when the result affects money, health, tax, or legal decisions.
  • Run a low, base, and high case when the inputs are estimates.
  • Check the related calculators below when the next decision depends on a different assumption.

How to interpret the str co-host revenue share result

Best use

Use the result as a planning number for comparing payments, rates, returns, tax reserves, or cash-flow choices before you request a quote or make a commitment.

Cross-check

Compare the answer with the contract, lender estimate, tax form, brokerage statement, payroll record, or invoice that will control the real-world outcome.

Watch for

Do not rely on a single optimistic rate, return, or fee assumption. Money pages work best when you run low, base, and high cases and keep professional advice separate from the estimate.

This page belongs to the Finance calculator library, so the answer should be read in the context of the decision you are modeling rather than as a universal rule.

Before relying on this str co-host revenue share estimate

Most calculator mistakes come from the inputs, not the arithmetic. Use this short audit before you reuse the answer in a spreadsheet, quote, application, or important conversation.

Confirm source numbers

Match balances, rates, fees, taxes, income, and payment dates against the lender quote, payroll record, tax form, statement, invoice, or contract.

Separate cash flow from total cost

A lower monthly payment can still cost more over time if fees, interest, taxes, or a longer term are hidden in the structure.

Run conservative cases

Test at least one higher-cost or lower-return case before using the output for a purchase, refinance, investment, loan, or tax decision.

Rerun this page when the rate, price, term, fee, tax rule, income, expense, or expected holding period changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Co-host vs PM?

Co-host: locally-based partner who handles on-site duties (turnovers, guest greeting, repairs, supply restocking). 8-18% commission. PM: full company with marketing, pricing, listing optimization, OTA distribution. 18-35% commission. Co-host: best when owner manages listing/pricing remotely + needs local hands. PM: hands-off ownership, full delegation.

Service scope?

Co-host typical: cleaner coordination, occasional cleaning themselves, key handoff/lockbox management, supply restocking, minor repairs ($50-200/repair), guest message overflow (after-hours), maintenance dispatch. NOT: pricing optimization (owner does), listing management (owner does), accounting (owner does). 10-15 hrs/wk typical.

Compensation models?

Pure commission (8-15% of net booking revenue): aligns incentives, simple. Trip charge ($35-150 per stay): predictable for co-host, owner pays for activity. Hybrid (5-8% + $50/stay): blends. Hourly retainer ($25-65/hr): bookkeeping for co-host, owner pays for time. Cleaning revenue retention: cleaner gets full cleaning fee. Stack: small commission + cleaning fee + trip charge typical.

Legal + tax?

1099 contractor most common. Co-host handles own taxes. Insurance: ensure landlord policy covers third-party access (sometimes excluded). Liability waiver helpful but doesn't replace insurance. Vacation rental insurance (Proper, Slice): covers most scenarios. Worker's comp: not required for true 1099 but check state. Background check + reference verification recommended.
