How much profitability can I get from my apartment?
It’s every owner’s first question, and the honest answer is: it depends on five factors you can try yourself above. Many people overestimate the gross income and forget the deductions; that’s why this calculator shows you the real net straight away — after utilities, management fee and taxes. So you know what actually reaches your pocket before deciding anything.
How to use the calculator, variable by variable
- Capacity: the number of guests your property sleeps. More capacity means a higher effective price per night (a larger property commands higher rates).
- Average price/night: the average rate you expect. With good revenue management this number goes up.
- Annual occupancy: the percentage of nights booked per year. It’s the lever that moves the result the most.
- Monthly utilities: electricity, water, internet, community fees, insurance and basic upkeep.
- Management fee: what your manager charges. Ours is 15% with no lock-in; set it to 0 to see the self-management scenario.
- Taxes: your estimated tax rate on the profit. More detail in our guide to tourist apartment taxes and waste fees.
What else is this calculator good for?
- Before buying a property to invest: check whether the area’s numbers add up.
- Self-management vs. professional management: set the fee to 0, then to 15%%, and compare.
- Deciding on a refurbishment: see how much the net rises if you add capacity (one more guest).
- Seeing the impact of occupancy and price to set realistic targets each season.
- Estimating what’s left after tax and avoiding surprises.
What makes an apartment in Torremolinos more profitable
The area (beachfront, centre, La Carihuela, Playamar…), day-to-day price management, listing quality and reviews, and holding a valid tourist licence (VFT) so you can publish safely. The difference between a flat that “earns something” and a truly profitable one is almost always the management — which is why, more than estimating, we maximise the real income of your property.

Frequently asked questions about vacation rental profitability
How much can I earn from my holiday apartment in Torremolinos?
It depends on the area, size (capacity), nightly price, occupancy and your costs. A well-managed apartment in Torremolinos usually keeps high occupancy from April to October and good demand the rest of the year. Enter your figures in the calculator for an estimate of your annual net income in seconds; for a figure tailored to your property, ask us for a free valuation.
How does this tool calculate profitability?
It starts from your gross income (price per night times 365 nights times your occupancy rate) and subtracts utilities and fixed costs, the management fee and the taxes you set. The result is your estimated annual net profit. Capacity adjusts the effective price per night, since a larger property commands a higher rate.
Is the figure shown net or gross?
The big green figure is your estimated annual NET profit: what is left after utilities, management fee and taxes. Right below you can also see the gross income and the breakdown of each deduction.
What occupancy is realistic in Torremolinos?
It varies a lot with the area, listing quality and price management. Beachfront and the centre perform better in summer, while well-connected areas work well all year. The calculator lets you test different occupancy scenarios to see their impact.
How much tax do I pay on a vacation rental?
Short-term rental income is taxed on the net profit (personal income tax, or corporate tax for a company), and VAT and local fees may apply in some cases. You can set your estimated tax rate in the calculator; for your specific case it is best to consult an adviser.
Does it help me decide whether to buy a property to rent out?
Yes. That is one of its best uses: before buying, enter the expected nightly price and occupancy for the area and you will see whether the investment adds up. Also check that the property can obtain a VFT licence, which in Malaga city is restricted in certain areas.
