How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Aarau?
Gross bookings per Aarau listing averaged CHF 11,269 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Aargau average: CHF 10,785), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Aarau listing brings in CHF 1,970 in August, its best month, and CHF 968 in January, its slowest. February runs within 4% of January, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 2.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CHF 2,940+ a month, about 2.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CHF 2,080 or more, roughly CHF 740 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CHF 1,340 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CHF 702 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Aarau Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Aarau Airbnb took in CHF 11,269 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 650 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 CHF 1,020 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 900 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 730 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 570 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 Aarau's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Aarau listings are booked on 66% or more of their nights, against 44% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CHF 87 adds about CHF 875 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CHF 130 a night or more, against a median of CHF 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 CHF 1,040 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about CHF 1,970, against CHF 968 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Aarau listings average 4.78 stars, and 53% 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 CHF 1,460 a month, against CHF 940 for the average one.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about CHF 1,020 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
