Are you considering renting out your holiday home and are you curious about the potential revenue?
Income can vary greatly depending on location, type of property, and rental strategy.

What determines the revenue of a holiday home?
The revenue from renting out a holiday home depends on several factors:
- Location of the property
- Type and size of the accommodation
- Occupancy rate
- Rental price per night
- Season and demand
Average revenue per year
An indication:
- Low season: lower prices, fewer bookings
- High season: higher prices, almost fully booked
On average, a holiday home can generate between €15,000 and €50,000 per year, depending on occupancy and pricing.
What do you keep net?
Not all income is profit.
Keep in mind:
- Cleaning costs
- Maintenance
- Energy
- Rental platform commissions
Commissions in particular can add up significantly (up to 15–25%)
