August is your biggest month — plan it early
During the Fringe, central Edinburgh properties run at near-100% occupancy with nightly rates 2–3× the off-season average. For many hosts, August alone can represent a large share of annual revenue. This estimator models gross and net revenue using your bedroom count, area, and an optional custom nightly rate.
The hosts who capture peak August are the ones who lock in cleaning coverage by April — not July. Read our Festival cleaning guide →
