How you’ll get paid for hosting
In this article:
Airbnb makes it easy to receive payments, which we call payouts, in just a few steps.
How you’ll get paid
You choose how you’d like to receive the money you earn hosting. Your options depend on where you’re based. Payout methods include:
- Bank account
- Fast Pay
- International wire
- Payoneer prepaid debit Mastercard
- PayPal
- Western Union
To set up payouts, add a payout method under the Payouts section of Payments in your hosting account settings. The method you select will apply to all future payouts until you change it.
You may need to provide your taxpayer information so we can send you the correct tax documents. Not sure if this applies to you? Learn more about tax documents from Airbnb.
While your payout method is being verified, it’ll show as pending. The verification process can take up to 10 days—unless you choose Fast Pay, which is verified instantly.
How much you’ll get paid
Select any reservation on your calendar to see your earnings for that stay. Scroll down below the booking details for an itemized list that includes:
- Your nightly price for the guest’s stay
- Any optional fees you charge for cleaning, pets, or extra guests
- Occupancy taxes
- Airbnb service fees
- Co-host payout, if you’ve set one up
- Your total payout
Service fees help Airbnb cover the costs of the products and services that help you share your space, like 24/7 customer support. Learn more about Airbnb service fees.
If your payout is lower than you expected, it could be because of discounts you added or a reservation cancellation or change. Transaction fees may also apply to certain payout methods, though many are available at no additional cost.
When you’ll get paid
The money you earn from hosting is typically released within one business day after check-in. In certain instances, the money is released within one business day after checkout, including if:
- A new host hasn’t verified a listing
- A host breaches our terms, policies, or standards
- Airbnb believes it’s reasonably necessary to protect Airbnb, its members, or third parties
Go to your earnings dashboard to see your payout timing for a reservation. The time it takes to receive your payout after being released by Airbnb depends on the payout method you’ve selected.
The payout methods available and their typical delivery times include:
- Fast Pay: 30 minutes or less
- Payoneer prepaid debit Mastercard: 24 hours or less
- PayPal: 1 business day
- Western Union: 1 business day (can vary by country or region)
- Bank transfer: 3 to 5 business days
- International wire: 3 to 7 business days
When you host a stay of 28 nights or longer, Airbnb sends your payouts in monthly installments, starting within one business day after check-in. In certain instances, including when a new host hasn’t verified a listing, the first installment is released 28 days after check-in.
