Since Airbnb automatically collects and remits this occupancy tax in your area, no separate amount is calculated. Double-check your Airbnb payout receipts to confirm the occupancy tax line actually appears.
Since Airbnb doesn't automatically collect this tax in your area, you'll need to collect roughly this amount from guests (or cover it yourself) and file and pay it to your local tax authority. Filing frequency (monthly/quarterly) varies by jurisdiction, so confirm your local requirements.
This is a simplified planning estimate, not tax or legal advice. It doesn't account for depreciation, other income you may have, the standard/itemized deduction, tax credits, the Qualified Business Income deduction, additional local tourism or environmental fees, or how your rental should be classified (Schedule C vs. Schedule E) based on the services you provide. Consult a tax professional for your actual filing.
