Booking.com Commission Calculator 2026

Booking.com publishes no standard rate. It is a percentage fixed in your accommodation agreement, and it varies by country and property type. Use the rate in your contract. As an example only, 15% on $150 a night for 3 nights plus a $60 cleaning fee is $76.50, and you keep $433.50.

Booking.com says you can find it in your accommodation agreement, or in the Extranet under Finance, then Reservation statements. If the rate on a statement is higher than your contract, you may be in a marketing programme such as Preferred Partner or Visibility Booster.

Booking.com says it covers the room rate and the extra fees you charge, such as cleaning, service fees and no-show or cancellation charges. It does not charge commission on local taxes such as city tax. In most countries it does charge commission on VAT or GST.

Genius is a discount you give members, not an extra commission. A mandatory 10% applies to your cheapest and most popular room, with optional 15% and 20% levels. Because it lowers the price the guest pays, the commission is charged on less: at 15% the default booking falls from $76.50 to $69.75 in commission, and you keep $395.25.

For bank transfer payouts, Booking.com charges a payment service fee as a percentage of the total value of each completed reservation. It depends on your property's location and is not on the pages we read, so see your Extranet. As an example only, 2% on the default booking is $10.20, leaving $423.30.

Yes. Booking.com says Preferred Partner comes with a small increase in commission, and Visibility Booster lets you choose a commission rate on a slider. It does not publish the amounts, so enter the extra percentage from your own statement in the programme box.

Booking.com applies VAT to the commission invoices of EU partners who have no valid EU VAT number. With a valid number it does not apply VAT, and you account for it yourself. It does not state a rate, so type the VAT rate on your invoice into the calculator.

The VAT or GST in a guest price belongs to the tax authority. If your $150 rate plus $60 cleaning has 20% VAT added on top, the guest pays $612.00. At 15% on that whole amount the commission is $91.80, and after the $102.00 of VAT you keep $418.20.

Booking.com says commission is charged on non-refundable and partially refundable bookings whether or not the guest stays, and on cancellation or no-show fees you charge. It is waived if you waive the fee and mark the no-show within 48 hours of checkout.

Switch the calculator to "Find price", then set the profit or margin you want per stay. It solves for the room price that leaves exactly that after the commission rate you entered, any payment fee and your costs.
