The formulas
- Platform fees = (nights + cleaning) × platform rate
- Net base = nights × (1 − platform rate); gross base = nights
- Commission = base × management rate
- Payout = nights + cleaning − platform fees − commission − cleaning kept
Example: €2,000 in nights, €240 cleaning, 15% platform fees and 20% commission on net: €336 in fees, €340 commission, €204 cleaning kept, and €1,360 paid out to the owner.

Frequently asked questions
What commission does an Airbnb property manager charge?
It is set freely in the management agreement. It varies with the services included (cleaning, linen, check-in, maintenance) and the city: compare offers on the same calculation basis.
Commission on gross or on net?
On net, the commission is calculated after platform fees: the owner and the property manager share those fees. On gross, the commission is based on the price paid by the guest. The agreement must state it clearly.
Is the cleaning fee included in the commission?
Usually not: the property manager keeps the cleaning fee to pay for cleaning and takes its commission on nights only. Some agreements pay the cleaning fee out to the owner, who pays for it themselves.
