how much does airbnb charge hosts

Airbnb's charges to hosts in 2025 depend on the fee model being used. Starting in late 2025, Airbnb is standardizing its host service fee to a single 15.5% commission on most bookings for hosts using property management software (PMS) or for those switched to the single-fee model. This means the fee is taken entirely from the host's payout rather than being split between host and guest. Before this change, many hosts paid a split fee with around 3% taken from hosts and guests paying a separate service fee of approximately 14%. There are exceptions, such as hosts with certain cancellation policies or listings in some countries where fees may vary. The new single 15.5% fee will replace the split fee system for most professional hosts globally by December 2025. This fee covers Airbnb's costs for running the platform, including payment processing, marketing, and customer service.
