Your payout is based on the nightly rate you set in your Holidu Host account. Discounts, Holidu commission, and applicable VAT are then deducted from that amount, so your final payout is the rate you set minus these deductions.

How is your payout calculated step by step?

1. Your nightly rate: The price you set in your Host account is the basis of your payout.
2. Discounts: Any discounts you offer, such as 10% off stays of 7 nights or more, are deducted from your set price.
3. Holidu commission: Holidu's commission, for example 6%, is calculated on the base price and deducted from your payout.
4. VAT: If applicable, VAT is deducted from your earnings.

Commissions charged by other booking platforms where your property is listed are added on top of your price, so they do not reduce your payout.

Example calculation

• Nightly rate set by you: €350
• Discount applied (10%): €315 per night
• Stay duration: 2 nights
• Total before deductions: €315 x 2 = €630
• Holidu commission (6%): -€37.80
• Payout before VAT: €592.20

Why was my payout lower than expected?

Holidu uses a balance system to avoid back-and-forth transactions. If we have already paid an amount and the booking changes or is cancelled free of charge, we subtract that amount from your next payout instead of requesting a deposit.
