When booking over AirBnB or VRBO, something to keep in mind...
We do not get to keep all of the money you pay.
•New York State gets 4% sales tax.
•Schenectady County gets 4% sales tax plus 5% occupancy tax.
•AirBnB takes 15.5% of everything (except taxes)
• VRBO's math is a little less obvious, but not inclduing the taxes, they keep a commission, a payment processing fees, and a guest service fee that is about 15.7% of what you have paid.
That totals between 28.5% and 28.7% of every dollar that you have paid to those companies.
