Getting paid as a new host

Congrats! You’ve earned it (literally). Now, when will you receive your payment? Here’s essential information on how your payouts work—from setting up payout methods to when and how you’ll get your payouts.

Set up a payout method to get paid

Whether you’re a new home, service, or experience host, you’ll need to set up a payout method on your account to get paid. We recommend doing this as soon as possible, as it may take a little while to be fully activated.

Find out what you need to know about payout methods, including:

• Learn about how long it takes for payout methods to be verified and ready to receive payouts
• Here’s how to add a payout method to your account and then set a default payout method
• You can change your payout currency when you add other payout methods
• When you set a minimum payout amount, you can combine payouts to cut down on transaction fees charged by your bank or financial service provider

How and when you’ll get paid

Airbnb typically releases your payout about 24 hours after your guest checks in to your place or after the start time of your service or experience.

Find out more about how payouts work, including:

• When you’ll get your payout depends on the type of reservation, your payout method’s processing time, the length of your guest’s stay (for a home reservation), and more
• You can find your earnings—upcoming, paid, and year-to-date—in your Earnings dashboard
• Get details about how to break down and calculate your payout, including host service fees and any co-host payouts
• Find out what happens with your payout and if a guest is refunded when they cancel, either before or during a trip
