How to Protect Your Payout After Airbnb’s Fee Update
Summary
This video explains how Airbnb's shift to a host-only fee structure (taking 15.5% directly from payouts, effective Oct 27) affects hosts who connect through a Property Management System (PMS). To maintain the same net payout, hosts need to increase their Airbnb channel markup in their PMS to 18.34%, applying this to both nightly rates and cleaning fees. The video also reminds hosts to manually adjust cleaning fees on Airbnb if their PMS can't apply channel-specific markups, and to avoid applying the same markup across all booking channels.
