Your payout is the room subtotal plus your cleaning fee, minus a 2% host service fee on the room subtotal.
The guest service fee and VAT are not yours and never form part of your earnings — VAT is remitted to the authorities, and the service fees are what keep the platform running.
Worked example
A 3-night booking at $50 a night with a $20 cleaning fee:
| Room subtotal | $150.00 |
| Cleaning fee | $20.00 |
| Host service fee (2%) | −$3.00 |
| You receive | $167.00 |
Your Transactions page shows this per booking, and Reports shows revenue over time.
How you receive your payout
Tell us how to pay you under Account → Payouts: choose telebirr, CBE Birr, a bank transfer or another method, and enter the account or phone number and the name on it.
Add your payout details before your first guest checks out — we cannot send your earnings until they are on file.
The same page shows Earned, Paid out and Owed to you. Earnings become payable once a stay has ended; our team then sends what is owed to the details you saved, and each payment appears in your payout history.
⚠️ You are responsible for declaring your earnings and meeting any tax obligations where you live.
