How does the standard commission scale work?

Your commission split starts at 25%. This is 25% of the commission Booking.com receives for each booking.

This percentage split increases and decreases based on the number of stayed bookings you have secured in a given month (though it will never go any lower than 25%). ‘Stayed bookings’ are bookings that were checked-out and confirmed by the partner. Cancelled bookings, or those marked as ‘no-show’ will not be counted.

The commission split brackets are as follows:

The amount you will receive depends on not just the above, but also the commission that a particular property pays Booking.com. Properties can be on a 15%, 17% or 20% commission plan. So, for a reservation worth 100 EUR, the possible scenarios are:

• 15% commission plan
  Booking.com will receive 15.00 EUR and you will earn 3.75, 4.50, 5.25, or 6.00 EUR, depending on the total amount of stayed reservations you've accumulated.
  
  
• 17% commission plan  
  Booking.com will receive 17 EUR and you will earn 4.25, 5.10, 5.95 or 6.80 EUR, depending on the total amount of stayed reservations you've accumulated.
  
  
• 20% commission plan 
  Booking.com will earn 20 EUR and you will earn 5, 6, 7 or 8 EUR, depending on the total amount of stayed reservations you've accumulated.

Once you reach a new bracket, you will need to wait two months to see the new commission applied. This is because properties do not confirm the reservations until one month after check-out.
