Denied-claim exposure calculator.

Estimate the dollar value of fee disputes you'd have on the file across a year. We size the documented exposure — what AirCover or the Resolution Center actually pays is up to them.

Your year

A rough sketch is fine. The total updates as you type.

Documentation quality changes the guidance below, not payout probability.

Incident assumptions

Industry chatter on r/airbnb_hosts puts these rates at 2–10% per category for a typical year. Adjust to match your portfolio.

Documented exposure across the year
$0

That's the face value of fee disputes your file would carry if every incident in the rate above happens once next year, priced at the PreArrive defaults. Not "guaranteed recovery" — what a platform or insurer pays is their call.

This estimates exposure, not recovery. Better records can make the file easier to review, but they do not guarantee payment from a platform, insurer, or court.

Review Fee Collectability Matrix
What this number is — and isn't

Is: the total face value of fee disputes you would be entitled to bring through the Resolution Center across a typical year, given your stay count and the incident rates you set.

Isn't: a promise of payout. AirCover and the Resolution Center decide at their discretion on the file in front of them. Without the disclosure-plus-acknowledgment pair on each fee, the file usually stalls — see how the Resolution Center actually works.

Why surface it at all: most hosts undercount what they're walking past. Seeing the year-total puts the size of the file in perspective relative to a $9–$29/mo plan.

Document the exposure. Before they check in.

PreArrive turns the rules + fees in your listing into a per-guest, dated, signed acknowledgment. The file Airbnb's Resolution Center wants to see.
