Gross bookings per Prince Rupert listing averaged CA$33,695 over the 12 months to October 2026 (British Columbia average: CA$48,118), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Prince Rupert listing brings in CA$5,430 in July, its best month, and CA$2,690 in December, its slowest. August runs within 2% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 three 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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Prince Rupert Airbnb took in CA$33,695 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$1,980 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 CA$2,990 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$1,610 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$2,120 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$1,720 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.
