Free Host Calculators and the Featured Stays Directory

July 28, 2026 · 4 min read
Quick answer: HostMoat now offers free, no-signup calculators — an Airbnb profit calculator, a host fee calculator, and a short-term rental ROI calculator — plus Featured Stays, an opt-in public directory where travelers can find and book HostMoat customers' direct booking sites.

Free Calculators for Every Host

Whether or not you use HostMoat, you can now run your numbers with three free tools. No account, no email gate — the math runs entirely in your browser.

  • The Airbnb Profit Calculator turns nightly rate, occupancy, cleaning economics, platform fees, and fixed costs into an honest monthly and annual net profit picture.
  • The Host Fee Calculator shows what Airbnb, VRBO, or Booking.com costs you per year — and what moving a share of bookings to a direct site would save after card processing.
  • The STR ROI Calculator estimates cap rate, cash flow, and cash-on-cash return for a property you are considering buying.

Featured Stays: A Book-Direct Directory

Every HostMoat direct booking site can now opt into Featured Stays, a public directory of independent vacation rentals travelers can book directly with the owner — no platform service fees added on top. For hosts, a listing means one more way travelers find your site plus an extra inbound link for search engines. It shows only what is already public on your booking site, and you can switch it off anytime from the Booking Site page.

Why We Built These

Independent hosts make better decisions with real numbers, and direct bookings get stronger when guests can actually find them. Both launches serve the same goal HostMoat has always had: keep more of your revenue in your pocket instead of a platform's.
