In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Prince Albert Local Municipality Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Prince Albert Local Municipality Airbnb took in R 150,717 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R 9,200 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 R 15,900 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the R 2,500 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about R 9,400 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about R 8,000 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 Prince Albert Local Municipality's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Prince Albert Local Municipality listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 1,370 adds about R 13,700 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 1,925 a night or more, against a median of R 1,370. 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 R 14,800 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about R 22,900, against R 12,600 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Prince Albert Local Municipality listings average 4.85 stars, and 41% 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 R 21,500 a month, against R 12,600 for the average one.
