Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Dresden?

Gross bookings per Dresden listing averaged €13,426 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Saxony average: €10,950), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Dresden listing brings in €1,920 in December, its best month, and €916 in January, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: December leads August by 2%, and January sits just 3% below February, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 3.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €3,040+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn €2,010 or more, roughly €760 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about €1,250 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €639 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.

December earns about twice what January does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Dresden Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Dresden Airbnb took in €13,426 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €720 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 €1,170 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,310 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €830 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €620 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 Dresden's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Dresden listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 45% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €87 adds about €872 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €120 a night or more, against a median of €87. 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 €1,210 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about €1,920, against €916 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Dresden listings average 4.81 stars, and 39% 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 €1,800 a month, against €1,120 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Dresden?

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 3.7 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 83%+ of open nights, 38 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 68% or more, roughly five nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 45% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 23% or less, under two nights a week.

December is usually the busiest month in Dresden, January the quietest

Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month rate of 43% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Dresden?

The average nightly rate in Dresden, known as ADR (average daily rate), was €107 over the past year, about the same as the Saxony average (€105) and about 18% below the Germany average of €130. In a typical year, rates peak in July and August at about €110 and bottom out in February at about €89.

The top 10% charge about 2.7 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge €175+ a night, about twice the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge €120 or more, about €35 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about €87 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge €65 or less, about three-quarters of the median.

August rates run 24% above February's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, €99. The 12-month ADR of €107 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Dresden?

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 Dresden it averaged €46 over the past year, from about €30 in a typical January to about €62 in a typical December.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €83+ per open night, about 2.1 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn €58 or more, about €19 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about €39 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €23 or less, about 60% of the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Dresden

3% of the 1,492 active listings in Dresden display a registration, permit or license number. A low share 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 Dresden.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Dresden?

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Dresden?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Dresden?

Is Airbnb profitable in Dresden?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Dresden Airbnb grossed €13,426 in the 12 months to September 2026, 23% above the Saxony average of €10,950. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, €8,616 a year (about €720 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about €1,170 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
