Calculation method

Calculation method

Booked revenue = nightly rate × available nights × occupancy + other income; cash flow = revenue − operating costs − debt service.

Entered fixed decimals use exact rational arithmetic except the explicitly approximate IRR root. Money rounds only for display and supported nonzero amounts remain visible.

Worked example

Worked example
