How we calculate it
- Airbnb: 15% host-only service fee (the model Airbnb migrated most hosts to in 2020+). Guest fee ~14% on top — inflates your listing price and suppresses bookings.
- VRBO: 15% host commission on every booking. Guest service fee ~8% on top.
- Booking.com: 15% host commission. No guest-side service fee, but pay-at-property model affects cashflow.
- Annual nights booked = 365 × (your occupancy %). Gross revenue = nightly rate × nights. Host fees = gross × platform%.
- Numbers are directional — actual fees vary by market, listing tier, and cancellation history. Use this as a conservative anchor; many hosts pay more.
