Profit
Is an Airbnb in Palm Beach Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Palm Beach Airbnb took in A$52,836 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$2,820 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about A$4,130 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$5,850 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$3,310 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$2,430 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How Palm Beach's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Palm Beach listings are booked on 72% or more of their nights, against 56% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$400 adds about A$3,980 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$565 a night or more, against a median of A$400. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about A$4,700 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about A$10,300, against A$4,960 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Palm Beach listings average 4.80 stars, and 43% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about A$6,400 a month, against A$4,400 for the average one.

Is Airbnb profitable in Palm Beach?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Palm Beach Airbnb grossed A$52,836 in the 12 months to September 2026, 9% above the Queensland average of A$48,565. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, A$33,856 a year (about A$2,820 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about A$4,130 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
