Breakeven Day: Corporate Housing vs. Hotels (TCO Calculator) | Gumball Properties

For medium-term stays, the nightly rate is only the start. The fastest way to compare hotel vs. furnished rental is to calculate your breakeven day —the moment a furnished rental becomes cheaper than continuing a hotel stay.

At Gumball Properties, we provide fully furnished, move-in-ready housing for 30+ day stays. We’re a housing vendor for professionals—calm spaces, reliable Wi-Fi, and clear terms so you can focus on work, not setup.

Why the Breakeven Day Matters

From the breakeven day forward, the corporate rental delivers net savings. The timing depends on your market, rates, and taxes—use the calculator to see your specific crossover.

Use the TCO calculator to compare your exact numbers and see where the lines cross.

FAQ

What inputs do I need for the calculator?

Hotel nightly rate and expected taxes/fees; rental monthly rate plus any one-time deposits, cleaning, pet, parking, and applicable taxes.

Can I export and share with finance?

Yes. The PDF is a planning summary that helps approvers understand totals and savings. It is not a formal quote.

How does the tool handle 30-day tax thresholds?

You can model tax windows so the comparison reflects reduced or waived occupancy taxes where applicable. Rules vary by location.
