Understanding the Airbnb total price display

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:

Calculation example

Review the example below to understand how the final price is determined for a three-night stay.

Reservation details

  • Nightly rate: $100
  • Nights booked: 3
  • Markup: 10%
  • Cleaning fee: $50
  • Discount: $20

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.
