How you’ll get paid for hosting
In this article:
Airbnb makes it easy to receive payments, which we call payouts, in just a few steps.
How you’ll get paid
You choose how you’d like to receive the money you earn hosting. Your options depend on where you’re based. Payout methods include:
- Bank account
- Fast Pay
- International transfer
- Payoneer PrePaid Debit Mastercard
- PayPal
- Western Union
To set up payouts, add a payout method under Payments & payouts in your hosting account settings. The method you select will apply to all future payouts until you change it.
You may need to provide your taxpayer information so we can send you the correct tax documents. Not sure if this applies to you? Learn more about tax forms
While your payout method is being verified, it’ll show as pending. The verification process can take up to 10 days – unless you choose Fast Pay, which is verified instantly.
How much you’ll get paid
Select any reservation on your calendar to see what the guest paid and your earnings for that stay. Scroll down below the booking details for itemised lists that include:
- Your nightly price for the guest’s stay
- Any optional fees you charge for cleaning, pets or extra guests
- Occupancy taxes
- Guest and Host service fees
- Co-Host payout, if you’ve set one up
- Your total payout
Most Hosts pay a Host service fee of 3%. This fee helps Airbnb cover the costs of the products and services that help you share your space, like 24/7 customer support. Learn more about service fees
If your payout is lower than you expected, it could be because of discounts you have added or a reservation cancellation or change. Transaction fees may also apply to certain payout methods, though many are available at no additional cost.
When you’ll get paid
The money you earn from hosting is released to you about 24 hours after your guest’s scheduled check-in time. Exactly when the funds arrive in your account depends on the payout method you’ve selected.
The payout methods available and their typical delivery times include:
- Fast Pay: 30 minutes or less
- Payoneer: 24 hours or less
- PayPal: 1 working day
- Western Union: 1 working day (can vary by country/region)
- Bank transfer: 3 to 5 working days
- International transfer: 3 to 7 working days
When you host a stay of 28 nights or longer, Airbnb sends your earnings in monthly instalments, starting about 24 hours after your guest checks in. You can see the status of your payouts in your earnings dashboard anytime. Learn more about getting paid
