Short-Term Rental Consulting
Every booking platform takes a host fee. This tool shows, for Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com, the percentage increase that keeps your payout the same after the fee, and the adjusted price to charge.
Why This Tool
This calculator comes out of seven years as an Airbnb Superhost. Wealth Flow Realty operates short-term rentals in San Diego County and Orange County and offers short-term rental consulting, from setup and licensing to pricing strategy and ongoing operations.
Fees change, and a fee change is a pricing decision, not just a line on a statement. The tool is the first step: it tells you the number. The consulting is deciding what to do with it.
The Fee Facts
The Calculator
Offset formula: the increase that restores the pre-fee amount is fee ÷ (1 − fee), applied to your price. At a 15.5% fee that is 18.3%, not 15.5%, because the fee is charged on the higher price too.
Fills every platform below. You can still change each platform’s price and fee on its own card.

Single 12% commission from October 29, 2026, replacing the earlier 5% commission plus 3% payment processing.
Commission varies by property and agreement. Enter your own rate; no universal figure is assumed here.
Your current price is the amount you want to keep after the fee. The adjusted price is what to list so that, after the platform’s fee, you keep that amount. Check your own account for the fee that actually applies to you. Raising a price changes what guests see, so compare it against competing listings. This is an educational estimate, not tax or legal advice.
