Fee presets from Airbnb's service fees page (opens in a new tab), checked Oct 30, 2026: most hosts on the single fee pay 15.5%, and the 3% split fee is being phased out. On a split-fee booking the guest also pays a service fee, which isn't shown here. How much Airbnb takes.
How it works
How the Airbnb fee calculator works
Your payout is the stay subtotal (nights × nightly rate, plus the cleaning fee and any other fees you set) minus the host fee, which is that subtotal times your fee rate. To keep a set amount, work backward: list the stay at the payout you want ÷ (1 − fee rate), rounded up to the cent.
- Payout = subtotal − subtotal × fee rate
- Listed stay price = payout you want ÷ (1 − fee rate)
A worked example
3 nights at $150 with a $60 cleaning fee, on the 15.5% single fee. Then the price that keeps $500.
| 3 nights × $150 | $450.00 |
|---|---|
| Cleaning fee | $60.00 |
| Subtotal the fee is charged on | $510.00 |
| Host fee at 15.5% | −$79.05 |
| Your payout | $430.95 |
| To keep $500: $500 ÷ 0.845Rounded up to the cent | $591.72 |
| Less the $60 cleaning fee, ÷ 3 nights | $177.24 a night |
At $177.24 a night the fee is $91.72 and you keep $500.00. On the 3% split fee the same $150 nights would pay $494.70.
What it doesn't do
- It doesn't add taxes or show what the guest pays. On a split-fee booking the guest's own service fee goes on top.
- It doesn't include discounts, refunds, payout timing or currency conversion.
- It can't see your exact rate. Your payout report in Earnings shows it, and Airbnb's own rounding can differ by a cent.

Questions hosts ask
How much does Airbnb take from hosts?
On the single fee, most hosts pay 15.5% and others typically pay 14% to 16%, taken out of the payout. The older split fee, about 3% from the host plus a guest service fee, is being phased out. Source: Airbnb's service fees page (opens in a new tab), checked Oct 30, 2026.
Why isn't adding 15.5% to my price enough?
Because the fee is also charged on what you add. To keep $100 at 15.5% you need to list $118.35, a markup of about 18.3%.
Is the host fee taken from the cleaning fee?
Airbnb describes its service fees as a percentage of the nightly price and any fees charged by the host, which includes a cleaning fee, but not taxes. Check a recent payout breakdown to confirm what's deducted on your listing.
Can I go back to the split fee?
No. Airbnb says that once you've switched to the single fee you can't switch back. Bookings made before the switch keep the old fee, even if the stay happens after it.
