Getting paid

Congrats! You’ve earned it (literally). Now, when will you get it? Here’s important info on all things payment, and how to make sure you get paid the way you want to.

Payout set-up

When you first become a Host, you’ll need to make sure you have a payout method set up for your account. It might take a little while for it to get fully set up, so we recommend doing it as soon as possible. But how do you choose your payout currency? It’s based on the country and method you selected when you first added your payout method. Be aware that you can’t change a payout method’s currency once you’ve added it, but you can set up a new payout method in a different currency at any time.

Amount and timing

Airbnb typically releases your payout 24 hours after your guest’s scheduled check-in time. The time it takes for the funds to arrive in your account depends on your payout method and any bank holidays or weekends. Also, if you have a minimum payout amount set, or you’re hosting a longer stay, it might take longer or the payouts might be on a different schedule.
