Airbnb Tax Ireland Calculator: Estimate Your Irish Rental Tax in Under a Minute
Estimate your Irish rental tax liability in under a minute using your actual income and expense figures.
Total gross Airbnb receipts for the tax year before any deductions — the full amount you were entitled to receive, not just the net payout.
Total legitimate deductible costs including platform fees, cleaning, insurance, repairs, and mortgage interest (where applicable).
Enter 20 or 40 depending on whether your rental income pushes you into the higher band. Most hosts with total income above €42,000 in 2026 will use 40.
Gross rental income minus allowable expenses — the figure Revenue Ireland applies your marginal rate to.

How the Airbnb Tax Ireland Calculator Works
The calculator runs three numbers against each other to produce your estimated Irish income tax liability on short-term rental earnings. Enter each field accurately, a small error in any one of them shifts the output more than most hosts expect.
Annual Rental Income
Total gross rental receipts for the tax year before any deductions.
Revenue Ireland assesses this figure first — it must match what Airbnb actually paid out, not the guest-facing total including service fees.
Allowable Expenses
Total legitimate deductible costs including management fees, insurance, repairs, and mortgage interest.
Getting this number right is where most hosts recover the most tax — every euro of valid expense directly reduces taxable profit.
Marginal Tax Rate (%)
The income tax rate that applies to your top slice of income — 20% or 40% for most Irish taxpayers in 2026.
Your marginal rate determines how much each additional euro of net rental profit actually costs you in tax.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Calculator Account for Rent-a-room Relief Automatically?+
No. The calculator applies the Case IV rental income method, which covers the most common STR scenario. If your property qualifies for Rent-a-Room relief (income under €14,000 from renting a room in your primary home), you'd enter €0 as your tax liability manually, since that relief makes the income fully exempt.
Should the Airbnb Service Fee Appear in My Allowable Expenses Figure?+
Yes. Airbnb's host fee (typically 3%) is a legitimate deductible cost. Include it alongside mortgage interest, insurance, and repairs when you total your Allowable Expenses input.
What Marginal Tax Rate Should a PAYE Worker Use?+
If your total income already exceeds €42,000 (the 2026 standard rate band for a single person), enter 40%. Below that threshold, use 20%. USC and PRSI stack on top, so your effective rate on rental profit runs higher than the income tax rate alone.
Can the Calculator Handle Multiple Properties at Once?+
Run it once per property, then add the resulting tax figures. Revenue assesses each rental separately for rental income rules though you file everything on a single Form 11.
Does Pre-letting Expenditure Count as an Allowable Expense?+
Pre-letting expenses incurred within three years before first letting, such as repairs or redecoration, became deductible under Finance Act 2022. Include them in your Allowable Expenses total for the year you first receive rental income.
