Maryland Fee vs Competitor Fee
Calculation example with simple numbers (same booking – two charging methods)
Booking Example
The example below shows a typical 3-night booking and how the management fee is calculated under two different models.
Description | Calculation | Amount |
Stay | 3 nights × €100 | €300.00 |
Cleaning | €40.00 | |
Resilience Fee (Climate Crisis) | 3 × €1.50 | €4.50 |
Guest Total | €344.50 | |
Platform Commission | 15% × €344.50 | €51.68 |
Payout before management company | €344.50 − €51.68 | €292.82 |
Summary of Owner Net Returns
The two charging models
Model 1: Competitor Fee (Gross) | Model 2: Maryland Fee (Net Basis) |
Calculation: 20% × €344.50 Fee: €68.90 | Basis: €344.50 − €40.00 − €51.68 = €252.82 Calculation: 20% × €252.82 Fee: €50.56 |
Comparison on the same booking
Scenario | Calculation basis | Fee |
Competitor (Gross) | €344.50 | €68.90 |
Maryland (Net Basis) | €252.82 | €50.56 |
Profit per booking with Maryland: €18.34
What This Means on a Monthly Basis
Bookings/month | Profit/booking | Profit/month |
10 | €18.34 | €183.40 |
15 | €18.34 | €275.10 |
25 | €18.34 | €458.50 |
Conclusion The same booking. Two charging methods. A clear difference. Commission on the correct amount, not the inflated one. Measurable benefit on every booking. |

💡 Deductible Expenses & Taxation (Income Tax)
Parameter | Maryland Tax ID (Company) | Owner’s Tax ID (Individual) |
Deductible expenses (operating, consumables, service, depreciation, etc.) | ✅ 45% × €29,411.76 = €13,235.29 | ❌ Not deductible |
Additional deductible: platform commission | ✅ €4,411.76 | ❌ — |
Total deductibles | €17,647.05 | €0 |
Taxable profit/income | 29,411.76 – 17,647.05 = €11,764.71 | €29,411.76 |
Income tax | 15% × 11,764.71 = €1,764.71 | Progressive: 12,000×15%=€1,800 + 12,000×25%=€3,000 + 5,411.76×35%=€1,894.12 → €6,694.12 |
Important clarification (for an accurate picture):
Accommodation taxes (resilience fee, visitor fee, and accommodation VAT) are mandatory deductions that the market has now already factored into price levels.
In practice, after their introduction, prices were adjusted nationwide so that these charges do not “eat into” the net return as much as it initially appears on paper, but are offset by the new price level of the market.
That is why going “from €29,411.76 down to €11,699.26 and €9,903.38 respectively” is not, in practice, a real loss of the same magnitude.
____________________________________________________________
🔴 CONCLUSION
Based on the above data, the model with the Maryland Tax ID (Company) results in a higher final net amount of approximately +€2,619.41 / year, due to taxation on net profit and the ability to deduct expenses (together with the platform commission).
