@Jennifer71 Yes, figuring this out may require some math! You'll need to start out with what the guest can pay then subtract the Airbnb fee, occupancy tax (I assume Airbnb collects it for you as an add-on) and cleaning fee. You'll need to reverse engineer the starting price which is not easy to do and near impossible to get to an exact number.
But here's an example. Assuming a guest can only pay $1,000 total here's the type of calculation you'd need to do. Note that I am assuming a 10% occupancy tax and a 12% Airbnb fee which is on a sliding scale based on the amount of the nightly fee.
$1,000
- 250 cleaning fee
- 74 Airbnb service fee @12%
- 62 Occupancy tax on new price @10%
_________
$ 620 Special Offer rate.
So if your special offer is $620, here's how it will be calculated:
$620
+ 74 Airbnb Fee
+250 Cleaning Fee
+ 62 Occupancy Tax
_______
$1,006
Your payout would be $620 plus the cleaning fee of $250 to equal $870.
The total amount actually comes out to $1,006 but close enough. You can play around with these numbers to try to fit your guest's budget. Between the Airbnb fee and the occupancy tax, guests pay quite a bit more than the nightly price.
Hope this helps....off to get another cup of coffee!
