Airbnb, Booking, Vrbo or direct? Compare owner net, not guesswork.
A published commission rate does not tell the whole story. This calculator compares what the guest pays, what the owner keeps and the nightly rate required to preserve the same net income on each channel.
Do not compare fees. Compare what you actually keep.
Put Airbnb, Booking.com, Vrbo and direct bookings under the same rules. Gatavia calculates the required rate, commercial cost and real net of each booking.
With the same guest spend
Direct leaves €94.20 more than Airbnb at the same final guest price.

Channel settings
Edit these with your real terms. Booking.com has no universal commission and Vrbo may vary by PMS and market.
Airbnb: typical single fee 15.5%; typical split host fee 3%. Vrbo standard: 5% + 3%. Every percentage is editable.
Booking.com: use your actual contract/Extranet commission. The initial 15% is only an editable starting point.
Net = accommodation + cleaning + extras − promotions − channel commission − processing − manager − actual cleaning − variable costs − fixed booking cost. Guest taxes are shown in the total but are not treated as owner income.
This tool compares channel economics. It does not replace your contract terms, applicable tax rules or a full Gatavia Check.

Airbnb, Booking and Vrbo fee calculator FAQ
Which platform leaves more money?
There is no universal winner. It depends on commission, payment costs, promotions, operating costs, management fees and achievable rate.
How do I calculate the rate needed to keep the same net?
Choose same-net mode, enter what you want to keep and your real terms. Gatavia calculates the required rate per channel.
Is Booking.com always 15%?
No. Commission depends on the agreement, market and commercial programmes, so the percentage is editable.
Does Vrbo always charge the same?
Not necessarily. Costs vary by market, setup and software connection.
Are direct bookings free?
No. They can include payment processing, booking engine, website, marketing, discounts and other costs.
Does this replace Gatavia Check?
No. This tool analyses channel economics. Gatavia Check analyses the full property.
