The formula
Subtotal = nights × nightly + cleaning + addons + delivery
Fee = max(host% × Subtotal, min$/night × nights)
KEEP = Subtotal − Fee − tax buffer
Guest 10% of booking total is pass-through and is not inside host KEEP. New-guest 6.5% off is guest-side, default on Outdoorsy, not subtracted here. No invented Stripe cents table.
