Gross bookings per Lille listing averaged €18,041 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Antwerp average: €16,409), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Lille listing brings in €2,520 in August, its best month, and €1,360 in November, its slowest. September runs within 4% of November, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 3.4 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.
August earns about 1.9 times what November does

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Lille Airbnb took in €18,041 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €910 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 €1,590 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €2,670 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €1,130 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €780 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.

The average nightly rate in Lille, known as ADR (average daily rate), was €144 over the past year, about 18% below the Antwerp and Belgium averages (both about €175). In a typical year, rates peak in July and August at about €145 and bottom out in September and November at about €115.
The top 10% charge about 2.3 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, €129. The 12-month ADR of €144 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 Lille it averaged €67 over the past year, from about €45 in a typical November to about €81 in a typical August.

Permits
None of the 32 active listings in Lille 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 Lille.
