Airbnb Cleaning Fee Calculator

Calculate the Right Cleaning Fee for Your Airbnb

The Airbnb Cleaning Fee Calculator helps hosts determine a fair and sustainable cleaning fee. It considers labor, cleaning supplies, and overhead — ensuring your fee fully covers costs without discouraging potential guests.

Why Setting the Right Cleaning Fee Matters

An accurate cleaning fee protects your profits and maintains guest trust. Too high, and it hurts bookings; too low, and you absorb unnecessary costs. Finding balance ensures your property remains profitable while offering fair value.

Example Calculation

Suppose your cleaning takes 3 hours at $25/hour, supplies cost $15, and you add 10% overhead:

In this case, a cleaning fee of $99 fairly covers your costs and includes a small buffer for time and coordination.

What to Include in Your Cleaning Fee

• Labor (cleaning staff wages or your own time)
• Cleaning supplies and detergents
• Laundry and linen replacement
• Restocking essentials (toiletries, coffee, etc.)
• Travel and coordination costs
• Wear-and-tear on furniture and appliances

By setting a well-calculated cleaning fee, you ensure your Airbnb remains both guest-friendly and financially sustainable — a win-win for profitability and guest satisfaction.
