How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Leipzig?

In a typical year, the average Leipzig listing brings in €1,600 in May, its best month, and €827 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 3.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €2,640+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Leipzig Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Leipzig Airbnb took in €10,289 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €570 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 €1,010 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €860 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €640 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €490 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 Leipzig's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Leipzig listings are booked on 63% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €87 adds about €866 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 €940 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, May brings the average listing about €1,600, against €827 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Leipzig listings average 4.78 stars, and 33% 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 €1,520 a month, against €860 for the average one.

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Leipzig

Leipzig Airbnb FAQ
How much do Airbnb hosts make in Leipzig?

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Leipzig?
Listings in Leipzig were booked on 38% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 38% for the Saxony average. October is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Leipzig?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Leipzig?
In Leipzig, 2% of active listings display a registration, permit or license number. A low share doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Leipzig?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Leipzig Airbnb grossed €10,289 in the 12 months to September 2026, 6% below 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, €6,789 a year (about €570 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 €1,010 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
