Getting paid

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

Payout setup

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.

Payout amount and timing

Once Airbnb releases your payout, how long it takes for you to get your money depends on your payout method’s processing time 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.
