What the calculator answers
The revenue calculator answers one question: if a property like yours were listed at a given spot, what could it reasonably earn? You drop a pin, choose a search radius between 0.5 and 20 km, and optionally narrow by bedroom count and property type. JokerPrice then looks only at listings already stored in its database. It does not run a fresh search, so the result is fast and repeatable.
Where the nightly rate comes from
Two sources feed the rate, in order of preference:
- Booked-night prices. When tracked calendars nearby (inside the radius, or within 20 km if needed) have enough history, the calculator uses the asking price of nights that were actually booked. This is the closest public signal to an achieved rate.
- Comparable asking prices. Without mature tracking data, it falls back to the median asking price of matching comparables. Asking prices tend to run higher than what guests end up paying, so treat this as an upper-leaning estimate.
The result always says which source was used.
Why you sometimes see three scenarios
Occupancy can only be measured where calendars have been tracked for a while. When there is no measured occupancy nearby, the calculator does not guess a single number. It shows three scenarios at 40%, 55% and 70% occupancy so you can see how sensitive revenue is to demand. Once tracking matures in the area, the scenarios are replaced by the measured figure.
Reading the result well
- Check the comparable count. A handful of comparables can swing the median a lot. Widen the radius or relax the filters if the count is low.
- Match the product. A two-bedroom apartment and a two-bedroom chalet with a pool serve different guests. Use the type filter.
- Remember costs. Revenue here is gross accommodation revenue before platform fees, cleaning, utilities, furnishing and VAT.
- Seasonality matters. Annual figures smooth over peaks such as Ramadan, Eid, school holidays and winter in desert destinations. Look at the monthly table on the market report for shape.
