What it earns, what it costs to own, and the net yield

Financial analysis
· Brixfox Standard · Non-resident · Fully managed
Fully managed is the Brixfox Standard shown on every card: a full-service manager's commission, charged on top of the Airbnb/Booking channel fees (not the cleaning cost — changeovers are funded by guest cleaning fees; you bear the residual). Self-managed drops the commission; the channel fees stay, because the platform is paid whoever manages, and you pay staff/local operations, a higher cleaning residual and your own time directly. Both scenarios divide the SAME gross revenue — the toggle changes the cost stack, not the revenue. That revenue is observed from actively-operated comps, so self-managed assumes you match their performance.Both scenarios share the same projected revenue — the toggle changes who runs the property and what that costs, not what it earns.
Net yieldNet operating income ÷ all-in investment. After local operating taxes; before home-country personal tax and financing costs. Modelled from observed market performance of comparable Airbnb listings.

Calendar-tracked performance

We track this exact listing's availability calendar daily. Recently it was booked 0% of nights, and it asks $293/night. The occupancy is measured. The nightly rate is what the host asks — Airbnb does not publish what a night actually sold for, so no source anywhere has the earned rate. The projections below stay on the area's market median until this listing's own record is long enough to carry them — where they differ, treat this card as the listing's own track record and the model as the conservative base case.

Revenue assumptions

Derived from the comparable Airbnb listings below. The headline ADR is the expected BOOKED rate — nearby asking prices corrected by our measured, market-calibrated asking-to-booked factor. Occupancy is calibrated against tracked reference homes nearby. Comp cards below show raw asking prices.

Income tax is Thai personal income tax on 70% of gross rent (the standard 30% deduction), at the 0–35% rates and before any personal allowance. The 15% a Thai payer withholds from a non-resident's rent is credited against this on the tax return, so it is not an extra cost. Financing is not modelled.

Rental yield + value growth

Your net rental yield plus a yearly rise in the property's market value (land and building) that you choose. Value growth is an assumption, not data — which is why it starts at 0% and is kept out of the yield figures above.
