How do you calculate your management fee?

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question for all property managers who manage units on behalf of owners.

I’m curious how you calculate your management commission:

1. Do you base your fee on the Airbnb payout (i.e., the amount after Airbnb fees)?
2. Or do you use “Accommodation after Discounts” as the calculation basis?
3. Or do you follow a different method?

We currently calculate our commission using Accommodation after Discounts, which (from what I’ve read and seen in hospitality best-practice materials) seems to be the industry standard. However, owners sometimes ask why we don’t calculate based on the payout instead — so I’d love to hear how others handle this to benchmark our approach.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
