What price keeps my Airbnb payout the same at 15.5%?

New price = old price x (1 minus old host fee) / (1 minus 0.155), rounded up. A $100 price on the 3% split fee becomes $114.80.

Do guests still see a service fee?

No. With the host-only fee, guests no longer see a separate Airbnb service fee line.

What changed

Airbnb's old split fee charged most hosts 3% and showed guests a separate service fee.
The single fee takes the whole fee from the host payout. Airbnb says most hosts pay 15.5%, others 14% to 16%, and Brazil and Mexico pay 16%.
Guests no longer see an Airbnb service fee line, so the price you set is what they pay before taxes.
Airbnb set deadlines of Sep 15, 2026 for hosts outside the EEA and Oct 13, 2026 inside the EEA and Switzerland.
The new fee only applies to reservations made after you switch.

Example: a $100 price on the 3% split fee paid you $97. At 15.5% you need $114.80 to keep $97. Airbnb's own example uses $115, which pays $97.18. If you keep $100, you get $84.50.
