What happened to the Price Calculator on the Calendar?

There used to be a calculator on the calendar that would simulate dates, and exact fees that guests would pay for their stay and I cannot find it anymore? Does anyone know where it went? The only way I can now simulate a guest stay is to preview my listing. 

It used to show all of the fees broken down, as well as the payout.

Hello @Gary287 and @Emiel1,

 

I just checked with the product team about the price calculator and you will be glad to hear it is still available. You can find it when you adjust or set your price.

Hopefully this looks familiar to you. When you click to enter the price, the calculator will pop up. If you want the full simulator, just click on 'Show details' and it will appear. 

 

I hope this helps and you can now continue to use the feature. 🙂

 

Let me know how you get on if you can.

 

Thanks,

Lizzie

About a week ago it suddenly disappeared.

Very annoying, as it was a great feature to do calculations.

I use the website (not the app) and i do not see the pricecalculator. Is it only available now on the app ?

Would like to see it back on the website also.

Ok, now i finally discovered where it is hidden for me on the website !

 

I am on "Smart Pricing", so first i have to disable "Smart Pricing", then simulate i want to change my nightly price and THEN the calculator shows up !

 

Please, please  Airbnb, bring back the simple link "price calculator" on the same spot and stop tormeting us.

I tried this and it did not work for me. Why disable such a useful tool. Please bring it back

That suitcase and tag option do not show on my page in the app, just the slider setting. I find the host app difficult to navigate from a business perspective. it would be nice to have a “host tools” section with price calculator, promotions, earnings YTD, earnings compared to same moth last year, expected income for future months where we have bookings

Open Price calculator is gone again. I disabled Smart Pricing and that still didn't bring it back. Airbnb, please bring it back. It helps us help you make more money!

I spent so much time trying to find the good old Price Calculator before I found this thread of posts. Yap, it's gone. Please give it back to us!!! I understand if this is some technical problem on AirBNB website or there is a tactical reason behind this disappearance of a very useful feature....

I agree it is a big loss to take away this tool

it is a huge avantage versus competition so please put it back 

the option changing a price to see guest price and payout is lot really visible and does not have the break out either so not really helpful...

hope to find it back quickly to continue giving advantage to Airbnb ...

Dear All - IT NEVER WENT AWAY - HOORAY

What did happen is that Airbnb hid it so well that I keep forgetting how to find it.

Anyway:

Go into the monthly view of your calendar

Highlight a few days where you want to see guest charges vs host payout

Now for the hard bit:

Click on the price per night box on the right hand side

The prices/payouts will now magically appear.

 

Let me know if you find it or if this only works in certain countries.
