What occupancy should I assume?

55–75% is typical for an established listing in a tourist area. New listings or weak markets can run much lower in the first 6–12 months.

Are guest service fees included?

No — those are paid by the guest. We model the host-side fee only (typically ~3% with Airbnb's host-only model).

What about taxes and insurance?

Lump them into 'Other costs' along with subscriptions, supplies, and a maintenance reserve. STR-specific insurance is essential and not cheap.
