Estimates only. Check your actual platform fee setup, taxes, refunds, and property costs before making decisions.
Start 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 fee arrangements can vary. This calculator does not assume a universal rate: enter the percentage that applies to the listing and payout structure you are checking.
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 fee percentage shown in your own Airbnb pricing and payout setup. Fee structures can vary, so an editable percentage is more useful than a fixed assumption.
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.
