Airbnb Management Fee Calculator
How much do Airbnb management companies actually charge, and how much do you keep after fees? Drag the sliders to compare self-managing, cheaper managers, and national operators against LALuxuryBnB for your Los Angeles short-term rental.
The math is editable because the honest answer depends on your property. We'd rather you stress-test ours than take our word for it.

Self-managing isn't free. Between pricing misses, unfilled nights, and the unpaid second job you're working, the professional scenario often comes out ahead on raw dollars — before you factor in weekends or sleep.
The sliders are a model. Your property is real.
