How does the maths work out with low pricing (e.g. 250 EUR/week)?
Many are surprised by extremely low prices on some Budapest listings. A quick calculation for 250 EUR/week (~35 EUR/day, ~14,000 HUF/day):
Daily costs to deduct:
- Airbnb service fee: ~3% (Host-Only model)
- Cleaning: ~5,000–8,000 HUF per turnover (~1,000–2,000 HUF/day)
- Utilities (electricity, water, heating, internet): ~2,000–4,000 HUF/day
- Linens/laundry: ~1,500 HUF per turnover
- Taxes: IFA + building tax + income tax/lump-sum tax + TFH
- Maintenance, depreciation, insurance
Very little — or nothing — remains as profit. Low pricing is not sustainable long-term. Focus on quality and optimal pricing instead. AI-powered dynamic pricing takes into account seasonality, demand and competitors.
