Try sample CSVs firstStart with booking revenue
A host fee estimate starts with accommodation revenue and any cleaning fee collected from guests. Enter booked nights, rate, and stays so the total reflects the period you are reviewing.
Use the fee setup on your account
Airbnb describes split fees and single fees and is moving home hosts to the single-fee structure. Most split-fee hosts pay 3%; most single-fee hosts pay 15.5%, with exceptions. The default 3% here is an illustrative split-fee example, not a rate for every listing. Enter the fee applicable to your reservation.
Find your reservation fee in Airbnb Earnings
In Airbnb, open Today, then Menu and Earnings. Choose Upcoming or Paid, open a transaction, and find Airbnb service fee under Earnings. Use the host fee, not the guest service fee. Airbnb says bookings made before a fee-structure switch keep their original fee setup.
Do not confuse payout with profit
Platform fees reduce payout, but cleaner invoices, supplies, utilities, repairs, insurance, and software also affect what a property actually earns. Review those separately before calling a month profitable.

FAQ
Common questions
What Airbnb host fee percentage should I enter?
Use the host service fee for the reservation in Airbnb Earnings. Most split-fee hosts pay 3%, while most single-fee hosts pay 15.5%; exceptions apply and Airbnb is transitioning home hosts to single fees. Do not use the guest service fee or assume the example rate applies to every booking.
Are Airbnb host fees the same as expenses?
No. Host fees are platform deductions from booking revenue. Cleaner costs, supplies, utilities, repairs, and other owner-paid costs should be tracked separately.
Does this calculator include refunds?
No. The result is a fee and payout estimate before refunds and adjustments. Add those when reviewing the actual payout or full property profit.
