How the Airbnb Tax Ireland Calculator Works
This calculator breaks down your estimate using key inputs. Each one refines the output.
Annual Rental Income
Your total gross receipts from Airbnb, Vrbo, or Booking.com before any deductions
Getting this wrong by even €1,000 shifts your marginal-rate liability by up to €400 at the 40% band.
Allowable Expenses
Deductible costs including mortgage interest, repairs, management fees, and insurance
These reduce your taxable profit directly, so an accurate figure here matters more than most hosts realise.
Rent-a-Room or Standard Rental
The exemption type you qualify for based on your rental arrangement
Rent-a-Room exempts income up to €14,000 per year while standard short-term rental applies normal Case V or Schedule D rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the calculator account for the Rent-a-Room relief threshold?+
Yes. The calculator applies the €14,000 rent-a-room exemption when you indicate you're renting a room in your principal private residence. If your gross receipts stay below that threshold, your liability calculates as zero.
What's the difference between gross rental income and net profit?+
Gross rental income is every euro Airbnb pays you before deductions. Net profit is what Revenue taxes: gross income minus allowable expenses such as mortgage interest, insurance, and repairs.
Can this tool handle multiple short-term rental properties?+
Enter each property's figures separately, then add the resulting net profits together. Revenue assesses all Irish rental income as a single Case V source on your self-assessment return.
Does the calculator include PRSI and USC?+
Yes. The output shows Income Tax, PRSI at 4% and USC across the standard 2026 bands so you see your total liability, not just the headline rate.
Is Airbnb's 4.5% host service fee deductible?+
Yes. Platform fees are a legitimate expense. Enter them in the allowable expenses field and the calculator reduces your taxable profit accordingly.
How accurate is the estimate for a married couple filing jointly?+
The tool uses standard joint assessment bands and the married person's tax credit of €3,750 for 2026. For non-standard situations, treat the output as a planning estimate and confirm with a tax adviser.
