How Do I Add or Change a Monthly Price to My AirBnB Listing?

Listing your property on Airbnb is a great way to supplement your income and put your property to work for you. Managing your listing can take time, but it's worth it to get the most out of your Airbnb property. How do you add or change a monthly price on your Airbnb listing? You can get assistance and information from Airbnb host support here, and you can keep reading for steps on changing your monthly pricing.

How Airbnb Works

Airbnb works by allowing you to list your property to vacationers around the world. You can list a room (or set of rooms) or your entire home for set periods of time. This allows vacationers to enjoy travel and accommodations that are usually much cheaper and more comfortable than hotels and allows you to add to your overall income. You set the amount you want to charge based on recommendations by Airbnb staff and master hosts.

How to Add or Change a Monthly Price

If you find that you're not getting many bookings because your price is higher than the average in your area, or you find you are not making maximum profit on your listing because the price is too low, you can update your listing. You can also set different pricing for different times of the year so you don't lose profit during peak travel seasons for your area. To add or change a monthly price on your Airbnb listing, follow these steps:

1. Open Airbnb in your browser.
2. Log into your host account.
3. Select the listing you wish to update.
4. In the upper-right-hand corner, choose the pricing settings tab.
5. Go to long-term pricing plans.
6. Here you can click the links to set custom rates for certain months or weeks of the year. For example, you can set different prices for holiday weeks in a certain month or set prices for entire seasons such as summer or autumn.
7. Click on apply to lock in your new rates.

Overriding Custom Settings

If you wish to make changes to parts of your custom settings (for example, you have seasonal rates but want to charge more for weekends), you can do that by completing the steps below:

1. In your Airbnb host listings, choose the one(s) you want to change.
2. Select Pricing and then select Standard fees and charging.
3. Choose Edit beside Weekend Pricing.
4. Enter your weekend rate and hit Save.

Managing your Airbnb listing will help you maximize your overall profit. By setting custom rates for peak seasons, weekends and holidays, you can still help travelers get a great place to stay while adding more money to your bank account.
