What the numbers tell us

At £8 per booked day, you need 25 days just to gross £200. At £12, you need about 17 days. Both exclude commission and other costs.

Costs and restrictions to consider

Demand depends on location, access and parking restrictions. Check similar parking listings rather than assuming every day will sell.

What if the parking platform takes a commission?

Suppose you sell 20 days of parking at £12 each, generating £240 gross. At 20% commission you retain £192 before other expenses. Deduct £15 of incremental monthly costs and the estimate falls to £177 before tax. Commission and booking rates vary by platform; these are assumptions, not published fees.

What the calculator cannot predict

Our calculator does not predict local booking demand. Compare nearby parking options, access restrictions and seasonal event schedules before applying a high occupancy rate.
