Delaware Airbnb Calculator

Project a Delaware short-term rental with state property-tax and insurance defaults, editable platform fees, lodging-tax treatment, operating expenses, cash flow, and break-even occupancy.

Local verification required. Delawaredefaults do not determine whether an STR is legal at a specific address. Verify city, county, zoning, HOA, primary-residence, permit, tax-registration, and platform collection rules before relying on the projection.

Delaware STR assumptions

This page seeds the calculator with a starting property value of $335,000.00 and a starting ADR of $169.00. These are screening defaults, not local revenue data. Replace them with nearby comparable STRs, seasonality, and actual booking history when available.

Property tax is seeded from the Delaware effective property-tax rate of 0.54%. Insurance uses the same state risk model as the other REI analyzers. Lodging tax is deliberately user-entered because city, county, tourism, convention, and occupancy taxes are often local.

STR diligence note from the Delaware investing profile: No statewide restrictions. Sussex County (beach towns) has been actively developing STR regulations. Rules are evolving rapidly in beach communities.

Market context: Wilmington/New Castle County (largest market, Philadelphia commuter zone). Dover/Kent County (state capital, military — Dover AFB, affordable). Sussex County (beach rental, strong STR market — Rehoboth, Lewes).
