- The free calculation says it does not save the calendar URL; hosts can adjust the annual cap for stricter local ordinances.
Field notes
The counter uses a noon-to-noon definition of a stay day and a fiscal period running from April 1 through March 31. The FAQ says Booking.com calendar URLs can also be read, while other reservations may be entered manually. The maker identifies the project as a personal effort, cites government and Airbnb guidance, and invites hosts to report calculation errors or describe problems.
