Add "Host Payout" Line to Payout Explanations

Problem Statement

  • Payout explanations are complex and require hosts to manually calculate deductions (fees, taxes) to understand their net payout
  • Hosts see the gross booking amount but must figure out what they'll actually receive after deductions
  • This creates confusion and extra work for hosts trying to understand their earnings

Current Workaround

  • Hosts manually calculate deductions by subtracting fees and taxes from the gross amount
  • Hosts have to navigate between different views (reservations, payout history) to piece together the full picture
  • Some hosts leave Hospitable to check OTA platforms for payout details

Impact

  • Increased time spent understanding payouts
  • Potential for calculation errors when manually determining net amounts
  • Frustration and confusion about actual earnings
  • Hosts may distrust the payout system due to lack of transparency

Proposed Solution

  • Add a clear "Host Payout" line to payout explanations and summaries
  • Show the net amount hosts will receive after all deductions in a prominent, easy-to-find location
  • Simplify the payout display to show gross amount, deductions, and net host payout in a straightforward format

Unlock

  • Hosts can instantly see their net payout without manual calculations
  • Greater transparency and trust in the payout system
  • Reduced time spent trying to understand earnings
  • Clearer communication about what hosts will actually receive
