Keep the assumptions yours.

This calculator uses only the values you enter. When opened from a live listing, JET prefills the address, list price, and available tax or HOA facts; rental performance assumptions remain blank.

Show formulas and exact basis

Acquisition basis: purchase price + closing costs + initial furnishing/improvements = Not calculated—add purchase price, closing costs, furnishing/improvements. Financing is excluded from cap rate.

Total cash invested: down payment + closing costs + initial furnishing/improvements = Not calculated—add purchase price, closing costs, furnishing/improvements, down payment.

NOI: annual guest revenue minus operating expenses, before financing and income taxes.

Cap rate: stabilized annual NOI / acquisition basis.

Cash-on-cash return: before-tax annual cash flow / total cash invested.

DSCR: NOI / annual debt service. It is not applicable when debt service is zero.

Break-even: the occupancy or ADR needed for known operating expenses plus annual debt service. Annual revenue override disables these two reverse calculations.

Simple payback: appears when cash flow is positive and total cash invested is known.

Cleaning-fee treatment and owner-blocked nights can materially change results. This is an editable planning estimate, not a guarantee of tax benefits, appreciation, value, zoning, short-term-rental eligibility, revenue, occupancy, financing, or return. Confirm property rules, permits, coverage, costs, and financing with the appropriate professionals.
