No platform commission - only your own card processing.

Advanced: split of bookings per channel

Rough percentages are fine - they only shape the annual view. Until you edit, an even split across ticked channels is used.

Summary

    Assumptions: These are estimates, not a forecast or tax advice. Commission rates come from each platform's own help pages, linked below and last checked 3 November 2026 - edit every rate to match your account. USD/GBP changes the currency label only, not exchange rates. Enter figures in one currency throughout. Platform fees here exclude taxes on the fees themselves, which vary by country.

    Reading the result

    The target payout is what a stay earned you under Airbnb's old split fee - for most hosts, 97% of the fee base. Every bar is measured against it. The markup needed is the price rise that makes a channel's payout match that target. Moving from the 3% split fee to Airbnb's 15.5% single fee, the answer is 0.97 / 0.845 = 1.148, a 14.8% rise.

    Apply a markup in exactly one place: your channel settings on the platform, your property management system's channel adjustment, or your pricing tool's channel markup. Applying it in two systems is the most common way repricing goes wrong.

    The guest pays view shows what the same stay costs a guest on each channel at your chosen markup. Only documented guest fees are shown: Airbnb's legacy split fee charged guests 14.1-16.5%, so a band appears instead of a single number; Booking.com and Airbnb's single fee add nothing for the guest; Vrbo's guest fee varies by booking and is not published, so it is flagged rather than guessed.

    Common questions

    Where do I find my Booking.com commission rate?

    Booking.com does not publish one rate. Your percentage is in your accommodation agreement and in the Extranet under Finance > Reservation statements. It varies by country, property type and agreement, and programmes like Preferred Partner or Visibility Booster add to it.

    Which Vrbo fee applies to me?

    Individual hosts on pay-per-booking pay 5% commission plus 3% payment processing. Hosts connected through property management software pay 12%, rising to 15% on the Professional Plan in parts of Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Your Vrbo Owner Dashboard shows the rate for your listings.

    Does the platform fee really apply to my cleaning fee?

    Yes. Airbnb, Booking.com and Vrbo all calculate their fee on the nightly price plus host-set fees such as cleaning, excluding taxes. A $150 cleaning fee carries $23.25 of Airbnb fee at 15.5%.

    Why is there no guest fee on Booking.com or Airbnb's single fee?

    Both are host-only models: the platform takes its cut from your payout and the guest sees one price. A separate guest service fee only exists on Airbnb's legacy split fee (14.1-16.5%) and on Vrbo, where the amount varies by booking and is not published.

    Is the 14.8% markup right for every host?

    It is right for a host moving from the 3% split fee to the 15.5% single fee. If your old or new fee differs, the formula is (1 minus your old fee) divided by (1 minus your new fee) - hosts in Brazil and Mexico moving from 4% to 16% get 0.96 / 0.84 = 1.143. Set your own old fee in the inputs and the calculator does the arithmetic.
