Airbnb displays a listing's total price by default in search results. This price includes all fees, such as cleaning and service fees, and excludes taxes. Understanding how this price is generated allows you to verify that your listing's pricing strategy appears correctly to potential guests.
Components of the total price
To verify the total price, manually calculate the separate items that contribute to the pricing. These items include:
- Accommodation fare: The nightly rate plus any markup
- Additions: Cleaning fees or additional fees
- Deductions: Discounts or coupons
Calculation example
Review the example below to understand how the final price is determined for a three-night stay.

Step 1: Calculate accommodation fare
First, calculate the base cost for the nights booked and apply the markup.
($100 × 3 nights) = $300 $300 + 10% markup ($30) = $330 |
Step 2: Add fees
Next, add the cleaning fee and any other service fees to the accommodation fare.
| $330 + $50 = $380 |
Step 3: Apply deductions
Finally, subtract any applicable discounts or promotions.
$380 - $20 = $360 Total price: The price displayed to the guest in the search results is $360. |
Note:
Taxes are excluded from this search result display and are calculated and added during the checkout process.
