Airbnb Host Fees Calculator: Estimate Your Net Payout Per Booking
Calculate exactly how much Airbnb takes from each booking before the money hits your account.
The total amount the guest paid for the booking before any deductions — the number shown on your Airbnb reservation confirmation.
The percentage Airbnb deducts from your gross revenue — typically 3% under the standard split-fee model, up to 5% or higher for certain policies or markets.
The amount that transfers to your bank after Airbnb deducts its host service fee, before cleaning or tax considerations.

How the Airbnb Host Fees Calculator Works
That's all it takes to see exactly what Airbnb takes from each booking before the money hits your account.
Gross Booking Revenue
The total amount a guest pays for the stay before any fees are deducted
This is your starting point for understanding what you actually earn per stay — use the number on your Airbnb reservation confirmation, not your payout.
Host Service Fee (%)
The percentage Airbnb charges you as the host, typically 3% under the split-fee model
This field converts the gross figure into a real net payout; hosts using strict cancellation policies or certain non-US platforms may see rates up to 5% or higher.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Calculator Account for Both the 3% and Split-fee Structures?+
The calculator works with any host service fee percentage you enter, so you can run it with 3% for standard listings or a higher rate if you've opted into the split-fee model. Enter whichever rate Airbnb applies to your specific account settings.
Should the Gross Booking Revenue Include the Cleaning Fee?+
Airbnb's host service fee applies to the subtotal including cleaning fees and any additional guest charges, so enter the full pre-fee booking total not just the nightly rate, for an accurate result.
Why Does My Actual Payout Sometimes Differ From the Calculator Output?+
The airbnb host fees calculator isolates the platform service fee only. Currency conversion charges, VAT on fees in certain countries, and co-host payouts are separate deductions that won't appear in this result.
Does the 3% Host Fee Apply on Vrbo or Booking.com Bookings?+
No. Vrbo charges hosts a separate commission structure (typically 5% commission plus a 3% payment processing fee), and Booking.com uses a commission model starting around 15%. Use this calculator for Airbnb-specific fee estimates only.
Can Property Managers Use This for Multi-unit Portfolios?+
Run the calculation once per listing since gross revenue and fee structures can vary by property type or location. For a portfolio overview, total the outputs across individual runs rather than aggregating revenue into a single entry.
