▸ Free tool · Airbnb fee calculator
Enter your rate, cleaning fee and stay length. See the guest’s displayed price and your estimated payout instantly. Built by ex-Airbnb Market Managers.
This free calculator shows two outputs built from your rate and cleaning fee: a simplified displayed-price total before taxes and other booking charges, and what lands in your account under the single host-only service fee used by migrated accounts (15.5% for most hosts, 16% in Brazil and Mexico), charged on the entire subtotal, cleaning fee included. Enter your nightly rate, cleaning fee and stay length to see the per-night total, payout and fee cost.
Guest price + host payout · Instant · Free · No login
Since 21 April 2025, Airbnb shows the total price by default in search results, with the cleaning fee spread across the nights of the search rather than revealed only at checkout. A $150/night listing with an $80 cleaning fee has a rate-plus-cleaning component of $190 a night (+27%) on a two-night search and $230 (+53%) on a one-night search. A guest whose cap falls below the applicable live total can be excluded before seeing the listing.
As Airbnb moves eligible accounts to a single fee paid by the host, the second number moves too: most hosts pay 15.5% (Brazil and Mexico 16%), deducted from the payout, on the entire subtotal, cleaning fee included. On a $380 booking at 15.5%, the host keeps about $321. The rollout came in waves: PMS-connected hosts migrated on 13 April 2026 (27 October 2025 in the US and Canada); the repricing deadlines for self-managed hosts are 15 September 2026 outside the European Economic Area and 13 October 2026 inside it. The fee and date in the host’s own account notice govern. The single host-only fee, explained.
The honest limit: the calculator shows what your numbers build; it can’t tell you whether those numbers are what’s keeping you unbooked. That depends on where your displayed total sits against the listings you’re actually measured against, and a free tool can’t see your market. That read is a Listing Diagnostic.

FAQ
▸
How much does Airbnb take from hosts?
Under Airbnb’s single service-fee structure, most hosts pay 15.5% and hosts in Brazil and Mexico pay 16%, deducted from the payout and charged on the entire subtotal, cleaning fee included. Once an account migrates, the guest sees no separate service-fee line. The host’s own account notice governs.
▸
Does the guest see my cleaning fee?
Yes. Since 21 April 2025 Airbnb shows the total price by default, so cleaning forms part of the total rather than appearing only as a checkout surprise. A higher cleaning fee can raise the applicable total, reduce filter eligibility and lower conversion once the listing is shown.
▸
Why does my displayed price change with stay length?
Because the cleaning fee is flat and the search divides it across the nights of the stay. A $150 rate with an $80 fee shows at $190 a night on a two-night search and $230 on a one-night search. That’s why a high cleaning fee quietly erases short stays first.
▸
Is the Airbnb fee calculator free?
Yes. Free, no signup, no listing access, and it never asks for your account. It runs only on the numbers you type in, against Airbnb’s published fee structure. We never sell your data.
▸
What should I do if my payout dropped after the fee change?
Moving from the old split fee to a 15.5% host-only fee without repricing drops the displayed price about 12.4% and the payout about 12.9% in the worked scenario. Restoring the old payout takes about a 14.8% increase to the host-set subtotal, leaving the guest total about 0.6% above the old one before taxes. The service-fee page walks the arithmetic.
