How much do co-hosts charge?

Accepted Answer

Co-host profiles include pricing for their services so you know what to expect before reaching out. This may include their price to set up a listing (flat fee) and for ongoing support (percentage of each booking). Co-hosts typically charge 15–25% for ongoing support. Pricing varies widely based on a number of factors, including regional considerations, specific offerings, and experience level. Airbnb does not take a percentage of the payout you share with your co-host.

How do I share payouts with my co-host?

You and your co‑host should agree on payment terms before they start helping you. You have the option to share part of each booking’s payout with your co‑host directly through Airbnb.
