When the host’s potential earnings amount is greater than the sum of all co-host payouts, co-hosts will be paid first, and the host will receive whatever remains. In some cases, either a co-host or the host might not receive a payout, or will receive less than expected.
Learn more about how co-host payouts work.
If the host’s potential earnings amount for a booking is less than the sum of all co-host payouts set up, the co-host(s) may receive a payout that is less than those amounts or no payout. This may also result in the host receiving no payout.
All booking-related payouts owed to the host are treated the same for the co-host, even if the host ends up only receiving a portion of the payout, due to a cancellation.
For example, if a $150 booking is canceled and the host’s potential earnings amount for that booking is updated to $50—and if the co-host payout is 10% per booking (excluding the cleaning fee), then the co-host will get $5 and the host will get $45.
If a host or full-access co-host cancels a guest’s booking after payouts have been sent by Airbnb, we’ll deduct the refund amount from future payouts until the full amount is collected. This means that the co-host(s) or the host might not receive a payout, or will receive less than expected. Hosts and co-hosts can find this reflected as an adjustment on their Earnings dashboard.
