What could your self-service rental earn?

Bookings per week × weeks in your season × price per booking = what your customers pay in a year. From that we subtract:

• the VAT included in your prices
• Stripe's payment fees: in Sweden 1.5% + 1.80 SEK for a standard European card, up to 3.15% + 1.80 SEK for premium and non-European cards, 1% + 3 SEK for Swish – at most 7 SEK a payment – and from 2.99% + 4.50 SEK for Klarna. We use 2% + 1.80 SEK per payment as an average, assuming most of your customers pay with an ordinary European card – if many choose Klarna or pay with cards from abroad, expect a little more.
• Igloohome's code fee: about 20 SEK a month per Igloohome lock, for Igloo Connect, the Igloohome service that creates the codes (the lock itself stays offline). We count it for every Igloohome lock you buy: one per item plus each shared door – or only the door locks, when you tick that the items sit behind the shared door.
• your Rentalbuddy plan

Rentalbuddy takes no commission on your bookings. Your own costs – firewood, cleaning, site rent, insurance – are left out unless you enter them in the calculator.

Every item you rent out self-service counts as one lock on your plan, so it can be booked on its own. When several items sit behind one shared door, you buy only one physical Igloohome lock for that door, and that door lock counts as one more – 4 boards in one box count as 5 locks. A shared lock on a shed for paddles, life jackets or firewood, or on a cabinet for ski boots and helmets, counts the same way; add them under Plan, VAT and currency. Igloohome's code fee follows the locks you actually buy: when the items sit behind the shared door, tick that box there and only the door lock is counted. Your plan depends on your locks and locations: Starter covers one location and up to 6 locks; Growth covers any number of locations and 8 locks, then 120 SEK a month per extra lock. We count the plan for all twelve months, even if you only rent out in summer or only in winter. Rentals whose seasons don't overlap – kayaks in summer, skis in winter – share your plan's locks: only locks that are switched on count toward your limit, so we count your busiest month, not every lock you own. Paying yearly saves 17%.

Bookings per item a week that we assume, averaged over the season (Quiet / Typical / Busy): sauna sessions 1.5 / 3 / 6 · mobile sauna or hot tub 0.5 / 1 / 2.5 · kayak or canoe 1 / 2 / 4 · SUP 1.5 / 3 / 5 · boat 1 / 2 / 4 · trailer 1.5 / 3 / 5 · bike 1 / 2 / 4 · ski set 1 / 2 / 4 · anything else 1 / 2 / 4 · court or room 5 / 10 / 20 booked hours. Typical means, for example, a sauna booked about 3 times a week or a kayak out about 32 times in a 16-week summer – well under half of what each item could take. Even Busy, 6 sauna sessions a week, is under a third of the 21 a sauna could take at three a day. For a court or room, Typical – 10 booked hours a week – is about one in ten of the hours between 7:00 and 22:00.

Time you get back: the minutes a staffed hand-over would take per booking – meeting the renter, the key, the payment and the trip there and back: sauna session 20 · mobile sauna or hot tub 30 · kayak or canoe 15 · SUP 10 · boat 20 · trailer 15 · bike 10 · ski set 10 · court or room 5 per booked hour · anything else 15. Cleaning and restocking are left out – they stay with you either way. That's on the cautious side: Igloohome reports that letting guests fetch firewood with their own code saves Grebo Bastubåt about 3 hours of manual work a week. We count every kayak, board or bike rented: when a family takes three in one booking, that's one hand-over, so lower the minutes if most of your customers come in groups. Change them to yours under Adjust the numbers.

The bookings per week under Typical are our own assumptions for a rental that is up and running – a first season is often closer to Quiet. Change every number to yours. The typical prices we start from are in the table under the calculator.
