Rent-a-Room Scheme Calculator
Earn up to €14,000/year tax-free by renting a room in your home. Calculate if you're under the threshold and see tax implications if over.
Monthly Rent Limits (Tax-Free)
To stay under the €14,000/year threshold:
| Rooms | Max Total/Month | Max per Room/Month |
|---|---|---|
| 1 room | €1,166 | €1,166 |
| 2 rooms | €1,166 | €583 |
| 3 rooms | €1,166 | €389 |
The €14,000 threshold applies to TOTAL income from all rooms combined, not per room.
Tips to Stay Under the Threshold
- • Consider renting for 11 months instead of 12
- • If renting multiple rooms, keep combined total under €14,000
- • Meals and services (laundry, etc.) count toward the threshold
- • Short-term stays (e.g. students for academic year) can help stay under
