Airbnb Fee Calculator.
See exactly what Airbnb takes from a booking — and what you really keep. Live updates, shareable URL, clean print.
Host fee 3% · guest service fee 14%. Defaults reflect the host-only fee structure used by most hosts.
How it works
Airbnb runs two fee structures. Most hosts now use host-only, where the host pays a 3% service fee and the guest pays roughly a 14% service fee. The calculator above models that structure.
Both fees apply to the subtotal — nightly rate × nights, plus the cleaning fee. Lodging tax is stacked on after that and varies by jurisdiction; see the lodging tax calculator for state-by-state rates.
The math:
- Subtotal =
nightly rate × nights + cleaning fee - Host fee =
subtotal × 3%(subtracted from your payout) - Guest service fee =
subtotal × 14%(added to what the guest pays) - Guest pays =
subtotal + guest service fee - You receive =
subtotal − host fee
Some legacy listings still run on the split fee structure (host pays ~14–16%, guest pays ~6%). If that’s you, override the rates in your account settings — the defaults in this calculator reflect the host-only structure.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Airbnb host service fee? Most hosts pay 3% of the booking subtotal under the host-only fee structure that Airbnb made the default in late 2020. A few legacy listings still see the older split-fee structure (~14–16% host fee, ~6% guest fee).
What is the Airbnb guest service fee? Guests typically pay around 14% of the booking subtotal, varying by trip length, total amount, and other factors Airbnb doesn’t fully disclose.
Does the cleaning fee count toward the service fees? Yes. Both the host fee and the guest service fee apply to the subtotal, which includes the cleaning fee.
Are these rates exact? They’re typical defaults. Your account may differ, especially if you’re on the legacy split fee or have negotiated terms. Adjust the inputs to match your actual rates.
Is this tax advice? No. This calculator only models Airbnb’s platform fees. For state lodging and occupancy tax, see the lodging tax calculator. For income tax, sales tax, or self-employment tax, consult a CPA.
