Your platform fee

How the fee is built
Cleaner	$85.00
Laundry	$15.00
Supplies and restock	$8.00
Turnover cost	$108.00
Platform's cut of the fee	$19.82
Cleaning fee that breaks even	$127.82

The math. Fee = turnover cost ÷ (1 − fee rate). Charging only $108.00 would leave you $16.74 short on every stay.
