FAQs

Do I need a complex chart for a single property? No. A small chart with a few clear lines is enough for one property. Focus on the big categories and keep it simple. You can always add detail later if you grow or if your reports need more depth.
Should I separate cleaning fees from room income? It helps to separate them because they behave differently. Room income is your main flow while cleaning fees are tied to each stay. Keeping them separate makes it easier to see true earning trends over time.
How often should I update the chart? Monthly updates work well for most hosts. If you have many bookings, you can also do a quick weekly check. The goal is to keep records fresh so you can make decisions with recent numbers.
Can this chart support tax time? Yes. A clean chart makes it easier to collect totals for the year. Keep receipts and match them to the right line. This reduces stress at tax time and helps avoid missed items.
What if my costs do not fit a category? Create a small other line and use it sparingly. If it grows, split it into a new clear category. The chart should stay simple but still reflect how you actually spend money.
