Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Saint John's?
Gross bookings per Saint John's listing averaged CA$33,387 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Newfoundland and Labrador average: CA$28,387), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Saint John's listing brings in CA$7,050 in July, its best month, and CA$1,620 in January, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads August by 1%, and January sits just 4% below February, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 46% 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 2.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CA$7,360+ a month, about 2.3 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CA$5,070 or more, roughly CA$1,800 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CA$3,250 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CA$1,930 or less, about 59% of the median.
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
Is an Airbnb in Saint John's Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Saint John's Airbnb took in CA$33,387 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$1,910 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 CA$3,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$2,250 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$2,090 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$1,650 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 Saint John's's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Saint John's listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 50% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CA$200 adds about CA$2,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CA$285 a night or more, against a median of CA$200. 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 CA$3,110 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about CA$7,050, against CA$1,620 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Saint John's listings average 4.86 stars, and 61% 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 CA$4,340 a month, against CA$2,780 for the average one.
