Parking Spot Rental Income Calculator: Net Earnings for 2026
Estimate your net monthly and annual income from renting out a parking spot, driveway, or garage by the hour, day, or month on marketplaces like SpotHero or Neighbor.com after platform fees and vacancy.
How Parking Spot Rental Income Is Calculated
Gross income depends on your pricing model — hourly, daily, or monthly — multiplied by how many units you actually book per month and adjusted for occupancy, then reduced by the marketplace's commission to get true net income.
Parking demand is spikier than general storage — spots near event venues, airports, and downtown commuter cores see much higher occupancy swings than residential storage space. Hourly and daily pricing models are common near stadiums and airports, while monthly pricing dominates commuter and residential listings. Platform commission varies significantly: Neighbor.com publishes a flat 4.9% + $0.30 host processing fee, while SpotHero does not publish an exact rate and independent reporting places its take closer to 15–30% per transaction depending on the listing and partnership terms.
