Channel fee comparison
Compare your net payout on a booking across booking channels and direct booking, given each channel's fee. See how much a direct-booking strategy could keep in your pocket.
Booking
Fees are editable — real rates vary by market, plan, and cancellation policy. Confirm each channel's current terms.
What you keep per channel
| Channel | Fee | You keep | vs. best |
|---|---|---|---|
| Direct (with processing) | % | $971 | — |
| Airbnb | % | $970 | −$1 |
| Vrbo | % | $920 | −$51 |
| Booking.com | % | $850 | −$121 |
Direct booking usually keeps the most per booking — but only once you account for the marketing, website, and support it requires.
How this tool works
- Net payout = booking total × (1 − channel fee %) − payment processing (for direct).
- You enter each channel's effective fee; defaults are editable because real fees vary by market, plan, and cancellation policy.
- Direct booking applies a payment-processing fee instead of a channel commission.
