Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Gordola Airbnb took in CHF 17,434 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 940 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 1,530 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 2,250 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 1,120 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 810 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.
