Airbnb tax calculator

Estimate the tax on your Airbnb or short-let income for 2026/27. Your letting profit — income minus allowable costs — is taxed at your marginal rate.

From April 2025 furnished holiday lets lost their separate tax treatment, so short lets are taxed like other property income, with finance costs given as a 20% credit rather than a deduction.

Frequently asked questions

Do I pay tax on Airbnb income?

Yes, on your letting profit after allowable costs. The £1,000 property allowance may cover very small amounts of income.

What changed for furnished holiday lets?

From April 2025 the separate furnished holiday let regime was abolished, so short lets are taxed broadly like other residential property income.

Is there an allowance for Airbnb income?

If you let a room in your own home, the Rent a Room scheme can give up to £7,500 tax-free. Otherwise the £1,000 property allowance may apply to small amounts.
