The best Airbnb calculator for investing in Florida: AirDNA, Mashvisor and RentaClara compared

The short answer

No single calculator does the whole job. To decide on a purchase you need two different things. First, an estimate of how much the property can earn, based on market data. Second, a calculation with your own numbers: what you pay for the mortgage, HOA, cleaning and the rest of your fixed costs.

For the first part, AirDNA or Mashvisor. For the second, the RentaClara calculator or your own spreadsheet. If you only do one of the two, you are deciding with half an analysis.

Quick comparison

The flow we recommend

1. Estimate revenue with the AirDNA Free Rentalizer or with Mashvisor. Write down the average daily rate (ADR) and occupancy.
2. Take those two numbers to the free RentaClara calculator and add your real costs: mortgage, HOA, cleaning, utilities and fees.
3. If the margin is tight, use Calculadora Plus to see the break-even point: the occupancy you need to avoid losing money.
4. Check the city's regulations before you make an offer. Start with the Florida 2026 regulations guide.
5. If you buy, that is when a dynamic pricing tool like PriceLabs comes in.

AirDNA: the best place to start

AirDNA has a free-forever plan with a limited Rentalizer (its revenue calculator), limited market insights and browsing of for-sale properties. For a first filter, that is enough.

If you are serious about an area, the Market Research plan costs $125 a month billed monthly or $400 a year billed annually (about $34 a month). It adds a customizable Rentalizer, historical market data, comparable sets, future demand data and property performance. AirDNA says it covers 15M+ active listings in 120,000+ markets, with data going back to 2014. You can cancel anytime and keep access until the end of the paid period.

Limitation: the free plan is limited and the site is in English. Also, the estimate is about revenue: you bring your own costs. More detail in Is AirDNA worth it? and in how to use comps before you buy.

Mashvisor: if you are torn between short-term and long-term rent

Mashvisor charges, billed annually: Lite $39.99 a month and Standard $74.99 a month. Quarterly billing is also offered. Lite already includes short-term and long-term rental estimates, ROI (cash on cash and cap rate), investment opportunity scores, rental comps and short-term rental rules for 500+ cities.

Standard adds nationwide property and market search, heatmaps, side-by-side property comparison and Excel exports. If you are comparing several houses at once, that plan saves you manual work.

Limitation: no free plan is shown, so you pay from the start. If you only want a first number, try AirDNA Free first. Compare both in RentaClara vs Mashvisor.

RentaClara: the step after the estimate

The RentaClara calculator is free and works in any market. It calculates income, expenses, net profit, margin and occupancy with the numbers you enter. That is where an AirDNA or Mashvisor estimate turns into a decision: you see whether anything is left after the mortgage, the HOA and cleaning.

Calculadora Plus (paid) adds the break-even point with an occupancy slider, the minimum nightly rate, a monthly forecast and short-term rental charts. Plans are at /precios.

We also have city guides with RentaClara estimates. Use them only as a starting reference, not as a replacement for comps:

• Miami: ADR $285, occupancy 67%.
• Orlando: ADR $195, occupancy 71%.
• Kissimmee: ADR $175, occupancy 73%.

An example with Orlando: $195 a night, 71% occupancy and 30 nights give about $4,150 in gross revenue a month. That number does not tell you anything yet. Subtract the mortgage, HOA, cleaning, utilities and fees in the calculator and you will see whether the purchase makes sense. Step by step in how to calculate Airbnb profitability.

Limitation: RentaClara does not search properties to buy and has no market database or historical data beyond its city guides. If you use its estimates without comps, your analysis falls short.

PriceLabs: for after you buy

PriceLabs is a dynamic pricing tool. In the US it costs $19.99 a month for 1 listing (plus taxes) or 1% of booking revenue, with a 30-day free trial and no credit card needed. It connects to Airbnb, VRBO and Booking.com. It is for running the property, not for deciding whether to buy it.

Limitation: it is not a tool for evaluating a purchase. Its estimation products are sold separately and we did not check their prices. More in Is PriceLabs worth it?

When RentaClara is not the answer

• If you do not have a property in mind yet and need to search: use AirDNA or Mashvisor.
• If you need real comps for the area or historical data: use AirDNA Market Research.
• If you want to know whether long-term rent would suit you better: use Mashvisor.
• If you already bought and need prices to adjust on their own: use PriceLabs or another dynamic pricing tool.
