Profit
Is an Airbnb in Buchs (SG) Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Buchs (SG) Airbnb took in CHF 11,163 in the 12 months to January 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 680 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 1,050 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 Buchs (SG)'s Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Buchs (SG) listings are booked on 61% or more of their nights, against 43% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CHF 68 adds about CHF 684 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CHF 88 a night or more, against a median of CHF 68. 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 1,120 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about CHF 2,520, against CHF 762 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 1,430 a month, against CHF 930 for the average one.
