@Josh Ball - this is only for the PMS users who are integrated with Airbnb for pricing. For example - I am using Hospitable PMS for communications and calendar synch only and Pricelabs for pricing. Both Airbnb and Pricelabs have said (in writing) that this change is not needed for my setup. I had to ask them specifically because there was no clear definition of "PMS User".

    The impact of the updated host fee depends on how you manage your listings:

    If You’re NOT Using a PMS or Channel Manager

    Fee moves from: 15% → 15.5%

    Increase: 0.5%

    Effective: December 2025

    Raise your nightly rate by about 0.5% to maintain earnings.

    If You’re USING a PMS or Channel Manager

    Fee moves from: 3% → 15.5%

    Increase: Major jump, you’ll need about a 14.79% price increase to stay even.

    Effective: October 27, 2025

    Quick Formula:
    New Price = Old Price × (100 − Old %) ÷ (100 − New %)

    Example:
    If your old rate is $100, old % = 3, new % = 15.5 →
    New Price = 100 × [(100 - 3) ÷ (100 - 15)]
    New Price = 100 × (97 ÷ 84.5) = $114.50

    So the new listing price should be $114.50, which equals a 14.79% increase.
