My inputs (change these):
- Take-home per night: $200
- Direct booking cost: 3%
- Airbnb host fee: 15.5%
- Vrbo fee: 12%
Rule: price for each channel = take-home / (1 - channel fee), rounded UP to the next cent. You keep = price x (1 - fee), rounded to the cent.

## FAQ

**How do I price Airbnb, Vrbo, and direct to keep the same amount?** Divide your target take-home by (1 minus each channel's fee) and round up to the cent.

**Why is my direct price lowest?** Direct bookings usually only cost card processing and software, often 2.5% to 4%, so the price can be lower for the same take-home.
