The short-term rental startup has announced it will now let users split payments on the platform. Airbnb users can split the cost of a listing with up to 16 people. Previously, the trip organizer would have to pay for the entire cost of the stay upfront. Payments are automatically split evenly as a default.

According to Airbnb statistics provided by the platform itself, in Q3/2022 an average Superhost made 64% more revenue than a regular host. The one million Airbnb Superhosts collectively earned $23+ billion in income between October 2021 and September 2022, which averages $23,000+ per Superhost per year.
According to Tipalti's study, Hawaii is the US state with the highest average annual host earnings. There, Airbnb hosts make, on average, a whopping $73,247 per year. Tennessee hosts follow right after, with $67,510 per year thanks to the state's many gorgeous properties and attractions.
