How do I see what each PadSplit room actually keeps after fees?

Profit Per Pillow shows true net profit per room after real platform fees, not gross rent and not NOI. You upload your monthly PadSplit export and it does the math.

Most investors look at last month in QuickBooks, or in a spreadsheet they update by hand. Platform fees get estimated. Vacancy and house costs sit somewhere else. The room that looks fine on paper is often the one eating the profit.

Profit Per Pillow is the focused tool for that one job. Use it on its own, or as the starting point for a custom build that connects the numbers to the rest of the portfolio.

  • True net per room and per house, after platform fees
  • PadSplit fees checked against what was actually collected
  • Works from your monthly PadSplit CSV or Excel export, with no rebuild of your stack

Who is Profit Per Pillow for?

PadSplit and rent-by-room investors who want to know what each room and house keeps after platform fees, not just what it books.

  • PadSplit hosts who estimate platform fees in a spreadsheet today
  • Investors with one house who want to check the numbers on the free plan
  • Growing portfolios where one room or one house may be eating the profit
  • Investors who want clean per-room numbers before a larger custom build

How does Profit Per Pillow work?

  1. Sign up and add your first property. One property is free.
  2. Upload your PadSplit CSV or Excel export each month. There is nothing to connect and no stack to rebuild.
  3. See true net profit by room and by house, after booking fees, service fees, turnover costs, and the house expenses each room carries.
  4. Check what PadSplit billed against what it collected, room by room. Booking fees are checked against the 10-day weekly rate, and service fees against 8% of what was collected.
  5. Optionally, add the AI analyst. It is a premium add-on that writes a plain-English brief of your wins and leaks and runs checks like the Market Rate Auditor.

What does true net profit look like on a real portfolio?

The example portfolio below brought in $58,586 from January to July 2026. Gross, that looks healthy. This is where it went:

Example portfolio, January to July 2026
LineAmountShare of income
Income$58,586100%
Debt service$24,67342.1%
Operating expenses$12,12320.7%
CapEx$7,45612.7%
PadSplit fees$4,5627.8%
Booking fees$1,5572.7%
True net profit$8,21514.0%

True net profit was $8,215, or 14 cents of every dollar. PadSplit and booking fees alone took $6,119, more than 10% of income, which is the part most spreadsheets estimate instead of measuring.

The same view breaks down by house and by room, so a room that looks fine on gross rent but loses money after its share of the costs shows up before it drags down the rest of the house.

Profit Per Pillow example financials for January to July 2026: $58,586 income, $4,562 PadSplit fees, $1,557 booking fees, $24,673 debt service, $7,456 CapEx and $8,215 true net profit, with monthly trends.

Common questions about Profit Per Pillow

What is true net profit per room?

It is what a room keeps after the PadSplit booking fee, the service fee, and its share of house costs. It is not gross rent and not NOI.

What does Profit Per Pillow break out?

Income, operating expenses, debt service, PadSplit fees, booking fees, CapEx, and true net profit, with month-by-month trends and the number of room turns. The example portfolio above shows each one.

Do I have to replace my current tools?

No. You upload the PadSplit CSV or Excel export you already download each month. Fees are read from that export instead of estimated, and nothing else in your stack changes.

Can Profit Per Pillow catch PadSplit billing errors?

It checks every room every month: billed against collected, booking fees against the 10-day weekly rate, and service fees against 8% of what was collected. Anything that does not match is flagged before it compounds.

What is the difference between done-for-you setup and a custom build?

They are two different things. Done-for-you setup, starting at $497 one-time, connects your booking systems to Profit Per Pillow so you do not upload anything by hand. An Investor OS custom build, at a fixed package price, is for investors with 5+ properties whose numbers also need to connect to their property manager, deals, or reporting across the whole portfolio.
