Revenue is half the story: introducing the Prop AnalytiX Calculator + Analysis Extension

Pull nightly rates, occupancy and seasonality straight off PriceLabs or Property Market Intel, and turn them into a month-by-month Airbnb net profit forecast in one click.

What's new, in 30 seconds

  • Prop AnalytiX Analysis Extension (free on Chrome): captures 12 months of rates and occupancy from PriceLabs or Property Market Intel while you browse.
  • One-click auto-fill into the Prop AnalytiX Calculator, with a seasonal plan built for you.
  • Every cost in one place: property and business expenses, platform fees and VAT, and your initial investment, with AI Low / Medium / High estimates built in.
  • Gross and net revenue, month by month, plus monthly profit and ROI.
  • Investor-ready PDF and JV splits for up to four partners.

Why we built this

I've coached more than 500 newcomers into the short-term rental market, and almost all of them used PriceLabs, AirDNA or Property Market Intel to research their first deal. The research tools are brilliant at one question: how much revenue could this property make?

But revenue isn't what lands in your bank account. Rent, energy, cleaning, management, platform fees and council tax all come out first. And because short-term rentals are a seasonal business, your net profit changes every month.

Most hosts work around that with one average daily rate and one occupancy figure for the whole year. With Prop AnalytiX, you don't need an average. You can forecast month by month, based on the real swings in revenue and occupancy.

Research tools tell you what a property could earn. Prop AnalytiX tells you what it could keep.

So we built two tools that work side by side. The Analysis Extension pulls the numbers. The Calculator turns them into a net forecast you can act on.

How it works: Pull → Analyse → Forecast → Report

The whole journey, from a PriceLabs tab to a shareable deal analysis, is four steps.

Prop AnalytiX four-step workflow: the extension pulls data, auto-fills the Calculator, which builds a monthly forecast and exports a PDF report
The four-step workflow. Steps 1–2 happen in the extension, steps 3–4 in the Calculator.

The new features, one by one

1
Analysis Extension

Pull real data, straight off the page

Open the Revenue Estimator or Market Research results for a property in PriceLabs (or a report in Property Market Intel), click Extract data from this page, and the extension captures the average daily rate, occupancy and all 12 months of seasonality.

You start on PriceLabs or Property Market Intel as usual. Once the data is captured and you're in the Calculator, there's no more switching between tabs and no retyping numbers into a spreadsheet.

Why it matters: your profit isn't the same every month. Capturing each month's real rate and occupancy means your forecast reflects seasonality, instead of a flat average that hides your quiet months.

A 12-month seasonal plan, built for you

The captured data lands in the Calculator as a ready-made seasonal plan: every month tagged Low, Medium or High season, with its nightly rate and occupancy variation already filled in.

Already have numbers from your own research? Type them straight into Step 1 instead. Everything stays editable.

Calculator

Every expense, forecasted, not forgotten

Most tools stop at a few bills. The Calculator takes you through the full cost of running a short-term rental:

  • Property expenses: rent or mortgage, energy, water, council tax or business rates
  • Business expenses: property and channel management, pricing software, cleaning, laundry, household supplies, Wi-Fi, TV subscriptions, insurance, noise sensors, CCTV, key storage and other outgoings
  • Platform and payment fees: OTA commission, VAT on commission, payment and merchant fees
  • Initial investment: sourcing fee, first month's rent, deposit, legal costs, references, furnishing, refurbishment, deep clean, channel manager and OTA setup fees, management onboarding fee and other property services

The free, built-in AI Expense Assistant gives you Low, Medium and High estimates based on the property's postcode and size. Pick the range that fits your deal, or type your own number.

Why it matters: underestimated bills are the most common reason a "profitable" Airbnb isn't.

Calculator

Gross and net, side by side

With revenue and costs in place, the Calculator builds the full picture: monthly and annual profit, annual ROI, average occupancy, a revenue analysis and a cost analysis.

Change any input, such as a lower nightly rate, a quieter winter or higher cleaning costs, then recalculate to see your Monthly Profit and Annual ROI update.

A report your investors will trust

Export a full PDF deal analysis with month-by-month profit, cumulative profit and the month you hit your return on investment.

Because it accounts for seasonal variation and the full range of expenses, the forecast is more accurate. You can see how long your return on investment will realistically take, so you don't overestimate it.

Use it for your own decision, or share it with an investor, landlord or JV partner. It's backed by data rather than word of mouth or gut feel, and it replaces the spreadsheet screenshot or slideshow.

Built for JV deals from day one

Running the numbers with partners? Add up to four JV partners, set each one's ownership percentage, and the Calculator splits the investment and the returns automatically.
