The fee you can see
Between 3% and 25% of every booking, depending on your fee tier and market. On a villa grossing six figures that is a salary leaving the building each year.

The maths
What the commission is really costing you.
Every figure here is one you control. Change any of them and the answer updates instantly - nothing is hidden, nothing is assumed on your behalf.
Your villa
You are handing the platforms
$23,725a year
Annual gross revenue$158,166
Platform fees after going direct$14,235
Card processing on direct bookings (2%)$1,265
You keep$8,225
That is per month$685
The saving is what stays in your account after the platform fee you no longer pay, less roughly 2% card processing on direct bookings - but before website and marketing costs. We would rather show you the honest number than a flattering one.
Three leaks
Commission is only the visible loss.
The rate the algorithm sets
Smart Pricing optimises for the platform's booking volume, not your yield. Villas routinely sit 10-20% under what their calendar could hold on peak dates.
The guest you never own
Every repeat stay booked through the platform pays commission again. Without their email you rebuy the same guest, year after year.
What we actually do
Direct bookings, without losing the platforms.
- Keep the OTAs working. They stay switched on for discovery - we simply stop them owning every repeat guest.
- A direct booking engine. Your own site, your own calendar, no third-party commission on the booking.
- Own the guest list. Post-stay campaigns and referral offers that bring guests back without paying to reach them twice.
- Pricing set to your yield. Seasonality, weekends and events priced for your revenue, not the platform's volume.
Your actual numbers
A model is not an audit.
The calculator above uses your estimates. The free revenue gap analysis uses your real listing, your real calendar and comparable villas in your market - and tells you what the gap is worth.
