Gross bookings per Clayton listing averaged A$14,037 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Victoria average: A$36,652), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Clayton listing brought in A$3,220 in July, its best month, and A$1,490 in November, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 31% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in March 2026 and bookings in August 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
These are market-wide figures. To see what one particular Clayton home could earn, enter its address, bedrooms and guests in the Airbnb revenue calculator; it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Clayton Airbnb took in A$14,037 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$770 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$1,580 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$1,280 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$880 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$670 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.

Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Clayton, known as ADR (average daily rate), was A$139 over the past year, about 61% below the Victoria and Australia averages (A$360 and A$385). Averaged month by month, rates peak in March at about A$165 and bottom out in May and June at about A$140.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, A$152. The 12-month ADR of A$139 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Clayton it averaged A$70 over the past year, from about A$50 in November to about A$104 in July.

Seasonality
With only 33 active listings, the monthly pattern in Clayton is noisy, since a few long or pricey stays can lift a month; revenue peaked in July and bottomed out in November.
Guests book Clayton stays 26 days ahead on average (about four weeks). June stays are booked furthest out, about 46 days ahead, and December stays closest to arrival, about 15 days. A typical June booking is made in late April.

Permits
None of the 33 active listings in Clayton display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Clayton.
