Compare what was due with what arrived.
Enter the platform, expected payout, and actual bank deposit. The difference formula shows which rows need another look.
A small file with one clear job.
Use the Lite workbook to close one month without building formulas from scratch. It is intentionally limited, so you can test the routine before deciding whether a full-year workbook fits.
Keep this month’s costs together.
Add the date, category, note, amount, and receipt status for up to 20 expenses. Dropdowns keep repeated labels consistent.
See the month without accounting jargon.
The summary adds bank deposits, subtracts expenses, and shows cash left. It does not file taxes or replace a bookkeeper.
Open it in three steps.
The download is a normal `.xlsx` file. Keep it in Excel, or upload it to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets.
1. Download
The file downloads immediately. There is no email gate, account, payment card, or newsletter signup.
2. Replace the sample
Type only in the blue cells. Use totals from your platform statement and bank record; leave the formulas alone.
3. Check the difference
A zero difference means the two totals match. A non-zero result is a prompt to check payout timing, refunds, or adjustments.

Keep private details out of the file. You do not need guest names, bank account numbers, property addresses, tax IDs, or client records. StaySums cannot see what you enter because the workbook stays with you.
Free for one month. $49 for the full year.
If the routine works for you, the paid workbook keeps the same plain-language approach and adds the capacity, reports, and setup help needed for ongoing use.

Questions before downloading.
The Lite workbook is deliberately simple. These answers explain what it does, what it leaves out, and where your information goes.
Is the Airbnb spreadsheet really free?
Yes. It is a direct `.xlsx` download for one property and one month. There is no email address, account, payment card, or bank connection required.
Does it work in Google Sheets?
Yes. Download the file, upload it to Google Drive, and choose Open with Google Sheets. The formulas, dropdowns, and formatting use compatible features.
What can I track?
One property for one month, with up to 12 platform payouts and 20 expenses. It calculates expected payouts, bank differences, total expenses, and cash left after expenses.
Does it connect to Airbnb, Vrbo, or my bank?
No. You enter only the totals you choose. StaySums does not connect to a booking platform, bank, or the workbook on your device.
Is it tax software?
No. It organizes one month of income and expenses. It does not file a return or provide tax, legal, accounting, or financial advice.
What is different in the $49 workbook?
The complete StaySums workbook covers a full year and up to five rentals, with 400 booking rows, 600 expense rows, monthly profit and loss, a dashboard, tax summary, mileage log, and setup guide.
