Home5% vs 4% commission — the real maths on hotel affiliate earnings

5% vs 4% commission — the real maths on hotel affiliate earnings

5% vs 4% sounds like a small difference. It's a 25% income increase. Here's the maths with real partner sizes.

What this is

5-percent-vs-4-percent-commission compares affiliate commission rates with concrete maths for typical partner volumes.

The simple maths

5% / 4% = 1.25 — you make 25% more income on the same booking volume by switching from a 4% program to a 5% program.

Why 5% is sustainable

Big OTAs spend 3-4 percentage points of their commission on Google Ads. We don't — we route through community channels instead. That margin is what funds the higher partner share.

FAQ

Is the 5% guaranteed long-term?

Yes — baked into the partner agreement. Any change requires 90 days notice and applies only to new bookings.

Do I get even more on volume?

Verified partners with >250 bookings/month qualify for a paid 6% tier. Email partners@impt.io.

What does it cost?

€0 setup, €0 monthly. We pay you 5% on every confirmed booking your link drives.

Monthly. Stripe / Wise / IBAN / PayPal / IMPT card / IMPT token. €50 minimum payout. Live tracker at swarm.impt.io/partners/dashboard.

Do my followers pay more?

No — same price as Booking.com or direct. Plus 1 tonne UN-verified CO₂ retired on Ethereum per booking. They lose nothing; you earn 5%.
