@Denise Supplee thank you, all these pointers were super helpful!

It’s typically 14–16%, though hosts with Super Strict cancellation policies may pay an additional 2%, and fees for stays of 28 nights or more may be less.Most hosts currently on the single-fee structure will soon start paying a new single rate of 15.5%, while hosts with listings in Brazil will continue to pay a 16% fee.
