Stop paying tax on fees you never received | Rental Income & Expense Tracker

Fair question. There are cheap trackers on Google. If you have one listing and a few bookings a year, buy one of those.

But those log what the platform reported. This one separates it. Airbnb's host service fee alone is around 3%; on $40,000 of bookings, that's about $1,200 you never received, sitting inside the figure you'd copy onto your return.

The software that does this properly starts around $15 a month, forever. The price is $37 once, and the file is yours.

14 days to change your mind. Full refund, no reason needed.

Most hosts aren't, and a file you can't figure out is worse than none.

So there's nothing to build. Every formula is written. You type into the input cells; the calculated ones are locked so you can't break them.

You get two copies. One is a demo, already filled with sample bookings, so you can click through every dashboard and see what yours will look like. The other is blank and ready for your own numbers. Setup takes about five minutes.

Stuck? Email us and a person will answer as soon as possible.

You don't, yet. And a spreadsheet that just moves numbers around isn't worth $37.

Your platform reports the gross service fee, the fast-pay fee, and the tax it collected from your guest, all inside that one figure. This separates them and shows the gap on its own line.

Check it in two minutes: compare your last payout to what the platform says you earned. If they match, you don't need this. If they don't, that difference is what you've been declaring.

Not worth having? Email within 14 days for a full refund. If something's not working, ask first; we'd rather fix it.

Fair worry. Plenty of digital sellers write "no refunds on downloads" and mean it.

Ours is unconditional. Email within 14 days and you get your money back. No reason needed, no form, nothing to prove.

The refund goes back to the card you paid with. 

There's nothing to return and no restocking fee.

Still unsure? Email before you buy, same address, same person.

Sometimes you shouldn't. Most free trackers are lead magnets; the file is fine, the point is to get you onto a mailing list.

But they log what the platform reported. They don't separate the host service fee, the fast-pay fee, and the tax collected from your guest, which is the whole reason your payout doesn't match your tax form.

They also assume one property and one channel. This holds twelve listings, five booking channels, and 8,000 rows.

Try a free one first if you like. If it does the job, keep your $37.

You're already running the properties. A file that needs a weekend isn't happening.

Setup is three answers on the Setup tab: your currency, the month your tax year starts, and your listings. That's it. You never open that tab again.

After that you're logging bookings. Your Airbnb transaction export pastes straight in the columns are already lined up so a year goes across in one go rather than row by row.

About five minutes to set up, and everything will be ready.

Reasonable thing to check. Most rental spreadsheets are built around one country's tax year and quietly break outside it.

This one has no tax rules in it at all—no rates, no bands, no allowances. That's exactly why it travels.

You set your currency symbol once on the Setup tab and pick the month your tax year starts, so April, January, and July all work. Distances are logged at whatever rate per mile or kilometer you enter.

It does the same arithmetic wherever you file: gross, minus what the platform already took, equals what's left.

No, and you should be careful with anyone selling a spreadsheet that says otherwise.

It organizes your own numbers so that whoever files can use them. There are no tax rates, no bands, and no allowances anywhere in the file; the Tax Summary is subtraction and nothing else.

The disclaimer is inside the file too, on the Tax Summary tab itself. Nothing here tells you what to declare or what you owe.

What you do with the result is between you and a qualified professional. This just makes sure they're working from the right number.

Worth asking, most trackers are built for Airbnb and quietly assume you only use one channel.

Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo, Houfy, and direct bookings are set up already, each row tagged with where it came from. They all sit at the same table, so there's nothing to merge at the end of the year.

The Setup tab holds 40 income entries in total, so there's room for any other channel you list on, plus your own cleaning, pet, and late-checkout fees.

The Income tab's columns follow the layout of Airbnb's transaction export, so a downloaded CSV goes across in one paste. Check the first few rows against your own statement before you rely on the totals, worth doing with any import.
