Calculator · STR loophole 

# Average Stay Calculator

The short-term rental loophole turns on one number: your average guest stay. Seven days or less (with material participation) and the activity can be non-passive, so losses can offset W-2 income. Check where you land.

Your year

Total nights booked · across the year 

Number of separate stays · reservations / check-ins 

Average length of stay

4.5 days

the test threshold is 7.0 days or less

Total nights 180 

Separate stays 40 

At 4.5 days you clear the 7-day average. Materially participate and this activity can be treated as non-passive.

Education only, not tax advice. The 7-day test is just the start; you still need to materially participate and meet the other requirements. Count nights and reservations carefully and confirm with your CPA before relying on it.

Off to go build something.  
Go build yours.  ~ Jennifer
