How this calculator works
Our calculator pulls data from our comprehensive analysis of the short-term rental market to give you the most accurate furnishing estimates possible. Instead of guessing your startup costs, you can get a room-by-room blueprint instantly.
Budget Tiers Explained
- Budget (Functional): Optimizes for the lowest initial cash outlay. Best for student housing, secondary markets, and properties where you're competing purely on price. Uses affordable but durable brands like Zinus and IKEA.
- Standard (Balanced): The optimal choice for 80% of hosts. Balances upfront cost with long-term durability. Features products that photograph well and survive hundreds of guest turnovers without breaking the bank.
- Luxury (Premium): Designed for high-end markets and luxury listings where guests expect a boutique hotel experience. Includes premium hybrid mattresses, designer furniture, and high-end tech.
Note: This calculator estimates furnishing and setup supplies (linens, kitchenware, decor, smart locks). It does not include structural renovations, painting, or major appliance purchases (refrigerators, washer/dryers).
