How will the new performance tab help you monitor your earnings? How frequently do you check your earnings dashboard, and what are you usually looking for?

I check the indicators on these dashboards frequently and it really helps me beat last year's numbers.

That's great to hear @Helio51 ! Which indicators or dashboard do you monitor frequently? 

[Dr-Jayanthi1]

Hey this could be cool for the real ME. Focus on the earnings, compare and plan my actions and vacations. I am excited to explore. 

Wish business is as promising as my excitement 😄

Hi @Dr-Jayanthi1 , This is interesting ! Could you share a bit more on how these dashboards help you, especially to plan your vacations? 

[Dr-Jayanthi1]

hey @Bhumika LOL - if I get my minimum expected earnings- then go- plan the best vacation that fits your budget 😛😛 if the graph is up than last year then decide on a longer one than last year - my Nov vacation to UK is getting closer 😍😍. I am not a great business person- love hospitality and I believe my personal experience with other airbnb hosts during my travel,  brings back a great learning process and  it’s a win for me and my guests 👍. Sorry if I sound silly 🤪 

[Bhumika]

Haha! @Dr-Jayanthi1 , I love your strategy to let the earnings graph do the talking! 😂📈 

Honestly, it sounds like a perfect plan. Your passion for hospitality shines through, and every new guest is another chance to learn (and maybe an excuse for a holiday 😉). 

Your UK trip sounds exciting 😍 Are you visiting London? 

Regards,

[Dr-Jayanthi1]

YESSSS - I am excited. The Thames , The Tower, The palace and The Tussaud’s 😛. Booked an Airbnb at Greater London. Waiting for my visa to come through 🫩

@Dr-Jayanthi1 , it sounds exciting 😍 Do keep us posted of your travel adventures in the UK!

@Airbnb 

We use this page only when we tally the TOT in order to submit payment to the tax collector. It is nice to have it clear and efficiently formatted. 

[Bhumika]

@Kitty-and-Creek0 , glad to read you find it clear and efficient. Do you usually calculate your TOT and submit taxes by yourself, or prefer an accountant? 

[Anna1836]

Preferisco utilizzare il mio personale commercialista 

[Google translation]

I prefer to use my own accountant

I prefer to use my own accountant

@Bhumika 

Thanks for asking! Of course I do it myself. Doing the TOT filings is so easy, nothing to it. We use an accountant only once a year, that is to check our income tax filings to make sure we didn't miss something.

I absolutely love this and how I can also compare year on year and even month on month. Great feature. One thought I had that might be worth while associated with this feature is an indication of the number of bookings and an indication on the ADR - so that we could better understand things like - is an increase / decrease in overall revenue due to an increase / decrease in nights booked vs increase / decrease in ADR. I think this tells a more compelling story . Happy to elaborate further if you think this would be helpful.

[Bhumika]

This seems like interesting idea @Geoff7 ! Just for the reference of some of our new Airbnb hosts who may visit this thread, would you mind sharing what is ADR?
