STR Host Income & Expense Tracker — Airbnb, Vrbo & Booking.com fees, cleaning costs & tax set-asides (Excel + Google Sheets)

See your STR's real profit — platform by platform, booking by booking.

STR Host Income & Expense Tracker is a single spreadsheet system for Airbnb, Vrbo and

Booking.com hosts who want every dollar in one place without paying for accounting

software.

WHAT'S INSIDE

- Dashboard — income vs expenses by month (with chart), YTD profit, bookings and nights

booked, average income per night, a full expense-category breakdown, and a platform

scorecard showing what each channel's fees really cost you. All automatic.

- Transactions — log every payout and cost with Type/Category dropdowns made for STR:

cleaning & turnover, Airbnb / Vrbo / Booking.com fee categories, utilities, supplies,

furnishings (with a depreciation note), mortgage interest (interest-only note),

permits, host insurance and more (Schedule E aligned).

- Reservation log — one row per stay: nights, accommodation and gross fill themselves;

type the platform fee from your payout statement. Cancelled stays stay in the log but

drop out of every report.

- Mileage log — supply runs, cleaner hand-offs, property checks; deductible value from

your editable IRS-rate setting.

- Quarterly tax estimator — a suggested set-aside per quarter from your own

effective-rate estimate, so tax season never ambushes you.

- Settings & guide — your rates, category/platform/property lists, and a plain-English

quick guide with the STR tax notes hosts actually need.

WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT

- The commodity $4.50 trackers squeeze platform fees into "misc". This one tracks fees

per channel and shows the effective fee % — sample data runs Airbnb ~3%, Vrbo ~13%,

Booking.com ~15%, and the scorecard proves why direct bookings matter.

- Schedule E-aligned categories your tax preparer will recognize, plus notes on

mortgage interest (interest only) and furnishing depreciation.

- Zero setup: no macros, no add-ins, no accounts. Opens in Excel 2016+ and imports into

Google Sheets in one click.

- Ships with clearly-marked sample data (two sample properties, Jan–Aug 2026) so you can

see every report working before you type a thing — delete the sample rows and it's yours.

- New year? Duplicate the file and keep going. No subscription, ever.
