Gross bookings per Paulo Afonso listing averaged R$13,004 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Bahia average: R$39,696), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Paulo Afonso listing brings in R$2,050 in January, its best month, and R$1,140 in November, its slowest. July runs within 1% of January, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 3.6 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.
January earns about 1.8 times what November does

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, R$1,550. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in January 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, January is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Paulo Afonso Airbnb took in R$13,004 in the 12 months to September 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about R$1,250 a month after running costs.
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.
