FAQs

How accurate is this calculator?

The calculator uses Airbnb's actual fee structure (15% host-only or 3% + guest fee) and typical Stripe processing fees. It's within 2-3% of what you'd actually net.

Why don't you include a custom cancellation scenario?

Cancellations vary wildly by market and policy; we use a 3% cancellation-loss estimate as a baseline. Your actual experience will vary.

Can I export these numbers?

Currently, no — but you can screenshot and share. An export feature is on the roadmap.
