Set a base weekday rate, a weekend uplift, a peak-season uplift and occupancy for each season. See the four nightly rates, your blended ADR and expected annual revenue. Runs in your browser; nothing is sent or stored.
Rate = base x (1 + weekend uplift) x (1 + peak uplift). With a $120 base, 25% weekends and 40% peak, the four rates are $120.00, $150.00, $168.00 and $210.00, blending to $145.85 ADR.

Worked example
A $120 base with a 25% weekend uplift and a 40% peak uplift gives off-peak rates of $120.00 (weekday) and $150.00 (weekend), and peak rates of $168.00 and $210.00. With 90 peak days at 85% occupancy and 275 off-peak days at 55%, you book 227.8 nights a year, blended occupancy is 62.40%, blended ADR is $145.85 and expected revenue is $33,216.43, against $27,330.00 if every booked night sold at the flat base rate.
How it works
Each night falls in one of four groups: off-peak weekday, off-peak weekend, peak weekday or peak weekend. Weekend nights are the weekend nights per week divided by 7 of the days in each season. Booked nights = nights in the group x that season's occupancy. Blended ADR = total revenue / total booked nights, so it leans toward the groups that sell most.
Uplifts multiply: a peak weekend night is base x 1.25 x 1.40 in the example. The occupancy figures are yours; higher prices usually lower occupancy, so test a cautious pair before relying on the revenue. Pair this with the occupancy, ADR and RevPAR calculator to check results against your real bookings.
Sources and basis: Basis (opened 2026-10-08): arithmetic on the rates, uplifts and occupancy you enter. No market rate, season length or demand level is assumed.
Local short-term rental licensing, zoning and tax rules vary, so check your municipality. This is arithmetic on the numbers you enter, not tax or legal advice.

FAQ
How much should I raise my weekend rate?
There is no fixed rule. Compare your weekend and weekday booking rates and nearby listings, and test a few uplifts. This tool shows what each uplift does to revenue if occupancy holds.
How do I work out my average nightly rate across seasons?
Weight each rate by the nights actually booked at it. That is the blended ADR shown here, not a simple average of the four rates.
What counts as peak season?
Whatever your own booking history and local events say. Enter the number of days you want priced at the peak uplift.
Do higher prices lower occupancy?
Usually somewhat, which is why occupancy is a separate input per season. Try a lower peak occupancy to see how much room the uplift leaves.
