Setting a minimum PMC commission amount in your business model

Set a minimum PMC commission in the business model to ensure that you never earn less than a specific amount per reservation. If the calculated percentage commission exceeds the minimum, you always receive the higher amount.

For example:

  • Net rental income: $1,000
  • Commission percentage (15%): $150
  • Minimum commission: $200
  • Your commission is $200 based on the minimum set amount, instead of $150 calculated by percentage.

If a reservation changes and net rental income adjusts, the minimum commission setting is checked again and the commission is updated if needed.

Notes and limitations

Important:

Do not use minimum commission if your net rental income calculation includes percentage expenses. The minimum will not work with this setup.

  • The minimum commission fixed amount uses your account's default currency. You cannot set the minimum in a different currency.
  • Minimum commission is calculated net. If you configure VAT or GST tax on the PMC commission, it's charged on top of the minimum commission amount.
  • To apply the minimum commission retroactively, reprocess existing reservations.
