Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Merseburg?

Gross bookings per Merseburg listing averaged €5,486 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Saxony-Anhalt average: €9,570), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Merseburg listing brings in €1,700 in August, its best month, and €622 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €2,170+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn €1,310 or more, roughly €540 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about €768 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €377 or less, about half 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.

August earns about 2.7 times what February does

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, €1,000. 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.

Merseburg Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.

August 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in June 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.

The typical Merseburg listing earns about €768 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb profit calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Merseburg Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Merseburg Airbnb took in €5,486 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about €9,340, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €500 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.

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 Merseburg's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Merseburg listings are booked on 53% or more of their nights, against 29% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €85 adds about €850 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €140 a night or more, against a median of €85. 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 €490 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about €1,700, against €622 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Merseburg listings average 4.77 stars, and 26% 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 €780 a month, against €460 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Merseburg

None of the 42 active listings in Merseburg 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 Merseburg.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Merseburg Airbnb grossed €5,486 in the 12 months to September 2026, 43% below the Saxony-Anhalt average of €9,570, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about €500 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
