Short-term rental tax yield simulator

This English page follows the Korean short-term rental simulator for urban homestay, foreign tourist urban homestay, shared-homestay sandbox, rural homestay, platform fees, VAT, income tax, and capital-gains-tax risk.

Registration types and limits

The Korean source distinguishes Tourism Promotion Act urban homestay, foreign tourist urban homestay, shared homestay sandbox, and rural homestay. Urban homestay is capped at 180 operating days, foreign tourist urban homestay can operate 365 days but cannot host domestic guests, and rural homestay can operate 365 days with VAT-exempt treatment.

Owner residence is required, and the area ceiling is 230 square meters in the source. Fire-safety installation, business registration, property type, region, room count, and use ratio all affect whether the selected registration route is legal.

Fees and taxes

Platform fees are preserved by channel: Airbnb about 14 to 16 percent, Booking.com about 15 to 18 percent, Agoda about 17 to 22 percent, Yanolja about 10 to 12 percent, and direct booking around 2 to 3 percent.

General VAT is 10 percent. Simplified lodging VAT is 2.5 percent and the simplified threshold is KRW 140 million after the 2024 revision. Income tax uses 6 to 45 percent progressive rates plus 10 percent local income tax, with a basic deduction around KRW 1.5 million.

Yield and home-tax risk

The Korean calculator separates gross revenue, channel fee, operating cost, VAT, income tax, net profit, ROI, break-even occupancy, and capital-gains-tax risk. A high nightly rate can still fail if cleaning, maintenance, platform fee, and vacancy are underestimated.

Business use of 30 percent or more can put one-house capital-gains exemption at risk in the source analysis. The English page calls calculateShortTermRental, so legality, tax, profit, and exemption-risk branches remain identical to the Korean page.
