"Effective co-host rate" is the co-host's earnings as a percentage of gross monthly revenue — useful for comparing a flat fee against a percentage deal on equal terms.

FAQ
What percentage do co-hosts charge for Airbnb?
Most STR co-hosts charge 10–25% of rental revenue; full-service management commonly lands around 15–20%. Scope drives the number — pricing, guest comms, cleaner/maintenance coordination, and on-the-ground support all push it up.
Is the fee on revenue before or after expenses?
Almost always on gross rental revenue (often net of platform fees), not on profit after expenses. This tool applies the % to the base you choose, then subtracts owner-paid expenses separately so you see true take-home.
Who pays for cleaning and supplies?
It varies. Cleaning is usually funded by the guest cleaning fee and arranged by the co-host; the owner typically covers utilities, insurance, taxes, mortgage, and capital repairs. Put it in writing, then assign owner expenses above.
Percentage or flat fee — which is better for the owner?
Percentage aligns the co-host with revenue but costs the owner more in strong months. Flat fee is predictable and rewards the owner when revenue is high, but gives the co-host less incentive to push occupancy. Switch models above to compare.
