What is the standard commission for Airbnb?

Airbnb service fees are calculated as a percentage of the total reservation cost, incorporating the nightly rate and potential additional fees like cleaning fees. The percentage typically falls between 5% and 15% of the total reservation cost.



As of early 2026, Airbnb has largely moved toward a "Host-Only" fee structure for the majority of professional and software-connected listings, which is standardized at 15.5%. Under this model, the host pays the entire service fee, and guests see a more transparent "no service fee" price at checkout. For individual hosts who are not using professional property management software, the "Split-Fee" model may still be available; in this scenario, the host typically pays a 3% commission, while the guest is charged a service fee that usually ranges from 14% to 16.5%. It is important to note that certain regions, such as Brazil, may have slightly higher host fees (around 16%), and choosing a "Super Strict" cancellation policy can add an additional 2% to your commission rate. These fees are calculated based on the booking subtotal (nightly rate plus cleaning fee) and are automatically deducted from the host's payout.
