Frequently asked questions
How much can I earn letting my flat by months with LAU 3.2?
It depends on the area and size. In Benidorm, a 70m² flat in a good location generates €750–1,000 gross/month with 8–10 months occupancy per year. In Valencia city, €900–1,200. The calculator above gives you an estimate based on your specific property.
Is it more profitable to let by months (LAU) or by days (VUT/Airbnb)?
Gross, Airbnb generates more € per night, but requires VUT licence (increasingly restricted in CV), intensive management (weekly cleaning, 24h support) and leaves many winter gaps. LAU 3.2 (stays 11+ nights) generates more stable income, no licence needed, lower management, and is legal throughout CV. For many landlords, NET profitability is similar or better with LAU.
What does Elvestay's 14% commission include?
Guest billing (Stripe), deposit custody, automatic LAU contracts, legal compliance, 24/7 guest support in 7 languages, your listing's SEO ranking, analytics dashboard, and incident resolution. No registration fee or monthly charge.
How is net profitability calculated?
Annual income − Elvestay commission (14% + 21% VAT) − estimated IBI (0.5% of property value) − fixed costs (service charge, insurance, maintenance, ~€600/year estimated). The result is divided by purchase price to obtain net profitability %.
Does the calculator account for personal taxes?
No. Rental income is subject to IRPF (property income tax), with specific reductions if the property is the tenant's main residence. Consult a tax adviser for your specific situation.
