How do I analyze an STR deal with fluctuating seasonal rents?

Hi BP fam--I'm trying to analyze my first potential STR deal. When rents and occupancy vary as seasons change, how do you average that out to enter it in the calculator?

    Personally we use a yearly gross/net amounts and expenses the same way.

    So kinda the weighted average like @Drago Stanimirovic said.

    I am less concerned with the monthly revenue and more with the overall profitability per year.

    I will also say that with most seasonal rentals, off season can mean zero occupancy.
