A detailed breakdown of how every line in your owner statement is calculated. For how to configure the settings that drive these calculations, see the Property Owner Statement Settings article.
Overview
Every Property Owner Statement is built from the same set of components:
Rental income, total reservation revenue for the statement period
PM commission, your management fee, made up of a basic commission plus your share of individual fees
Cleaning fee, the cleaning portion and how it is split between you and the owner
Pet fee, the pet-related portion and how it is split
Linen fee, the linen portion and how it is split
Other fees (Guest and Host fees), All fees except Cleaning, Pet, and Linen fees. This may vary depending on the channel and reservation fee structure.
Taxes, taxes collected, where the owner is the merchant of record
Unrecognized revenue, reserved for future use, always zero at launch
Expenses and adjustments, out-of-pocket costs and credits applied after revenue and commission
Net to owner, the final amount payable to the owner
Rental Income
Rental income is the sum of rental income from all reservations falling within the statement period. Which period a reservation's income lands in depends on the calculation method configured in your account settings. For how each method works, see the Calculation method section in the Property Owner Statement Settings article.
The key mathematical point is that the calculation method affects the full rental income and full PM commission of a reservation together, meaning both always move in the same direction. A reservation cannot have its income counted in one period and its commission counted in another.
A reservation also always uses the settings of the first statement it appeared in. For how this affects calculation when settings change over time, see How reservation settings are applied in the Property Owner Statement Settings article.
Base Price
Most lines in the statement, especially the PM commission, are calculated from the base price. The base price is defined as:
The nightly price after discounts
Without fees
Without taxes
May already include price per extra person for Airbnb, Vrbo, and Direct booking reservations.
PM (Property Manager) Commission
For how to configure your business model, commission percentages, basis, fee shares, and minimums, see the Configure PM commission section in the Property Owner Statement Settings article.
How the math works
In the Basic model, PM commission is calculated as:
PM commission = max(percentage x base, Minimal PM Commission per reservation)
The result is then capped so it can never exceed the accommodation base price for that reservation.
In the Advanced model, your total PM commission is the sum of two parts:
Total PM commission = Basic part + Fee shares part
The basic part uses the same formula as the Basic model, applied to whichever basis you have configured. The fee shares part is the sum of each configured fee multiplied by its split percentage:
Fee shares = (cleaning fee x cleaning %) + (pet fee x pet %) + (linen fee x linen %) + (other guest fees x other %)
and so on for any additional components you have configured such as closed resolution amounts or canceled reservations.
The platform-specific percentage logic applies to both models. The system checks for a percentage set specifically for the reservation's platform first. If none is found, it falls back to the "Other platforms" percentage.
Important: fee shares are already inside PM commission
The total PM commission already includes the fee shares. This matters for the net to owner calculation. Fee shares are not subtracted again separately.
Taxes
Statements use a single tax model: the owner is the merchant of record for taxes. Taxes flow through to the owner's side of the statement, not the property manager's side. Additional tax models will be introduced in future releases.
For how to create and assign tax profiles, see the Tax profiles section in the Property Owner Statement Settings article.
The taxes line in the statement is the sum of:
Active taxes from the property's tax profile that apply to PM commission and any services applied to PM commission, calculated per reservation
Taxes from expenses and adjustments
Active taxes from the tax profile applied to expenses categorized as Supplies
Active taxes from the tax profile applied to expenses categorized as Services
This means the expense category (Service or Supplies) and the tax profile assigned to an expense both directly affect the taxes line. The concept fields on an expense are for reporting and audit purposes only and do not affect the calculation.
Unrecognized Revenue
This line is always zero at this moment. It is reserved for future revenue categories and managers will be able to customize its value in future releases.
Expenses and Adjustments
Expenses reduce the net to the owner and credits increase it. For the full setup of categories, sign convention, tax profiles, and editing rules, see the Expenses and adjustments section in the Property Owner Statement Settings article.
The only point specific to the calculation is that the expense category and tax profile do affect the taxes line, as described in the Taxes section above.
Net to Owner
The final amount payable to the owner is:
Net to owner = Rental income - PM commission - Taxes - Expenses + Credits
PM commission in this formula is the full amount, which already includes both the basic commission and all fee shares. Do not subtract fee shares again.
Statement Branches
When you change your contract terms with an owner, iGMS needs to keep historical statements accurate while applying the new terms going forward. It does this through branches.
Main branch
The main branch uses the current business settings from the property card and your profile. It applies to any period that has not yet been finalized. Any draft statement you open or edit uses these current settings.
Finalized branches
Once you finalize a statement, its settings are frozen into a finalized branch. Changes you make to business settings afterward do not reach back into finalized statements.
How the contract start date drives the branch split
The contract start date set on the property is the transition date, the point from which the current contract terms take effect. Alongside it, the system also recognizes a minimal transition date, which is the earliest possible date the transition can apply. Both work the same way. The minimal transition date simply acts as a floor, the earliest boundary the system will recognize as a valid transition point.
When a reservation first appears in a statement and it started before the transition date (or the minimal transition date, whichever applies), the system automatically cuts all amounts from before that date out of the total. Those pre-transition amounts are treated as if they had already been reported in a prior period, even if no such period actually existed. This prevents pre-contract revenue and commission from being included in a statement that should only reflect the current terms.
Example: You renegotiate your contract on April 1.
Statements for January, February, and March are calculated using the previous terms
Statements from April onwards use the new terms
If a reservation started before April 1 but extends past it and appears in a statement for the first time, all amounts from before April 1 are cut from the total as if already stated elsewhere. Only the portion from April 1 onwards is calculated under the new branch
When a branch is used
Editing a draft statement, the current main branch settings apply
Editing a finalized statement after reopening, the statement continues using the same finalized branch settings that were locked at the moment of finalization. Updated business settings from the main branch are not automatically applied after reopening.
Currency Conversion
Reservations and expenses can be in a currency different from the statement currency. iGMS automatically converts amounts using exchange rates fetched from its internal rates service.
For finalized statements, the conversion rate used is from the last day of the statement period
For open statements, the rate closest to the current day is used
FAQs
Why is my rental income different from what I see in my channel payout?
Because in statements, iGMS uses statement-specific rules, such as the calculation method, transition date logic, finalized statement data, and how adjustments are assigned to periods. Reports differ because they use current settings, while finalized statements use the data and settings from the moment they were finalized.
Why is unrecognized revenue visible if it is always zero?
It is reserved for future revenue categories that iGMS will be able to recognize as channel data becomes richer. It is included now so the statement structure stays consistent over time.
Can I see which business settings were used to calculate a finalized statement?
You can see the Property Owner and Calculation method used directly in the statement. However, the commission percentage itself is not displayed in the statement. The statement shows only the calculated result under PM Commission, not the underlying commission % used to calculate it.
