Profit
Is an Airbnb in Melide Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Melide Airbnb took in CHF 18,017 in the 12 months to December 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 1,100 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 1,930 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 Melide's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Melide listings are booked on 43% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CHF 180 adds about CHF 1,800 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CHF 245 a night or more, against a median of CHF 180. 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 1,800 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about CHF 4,430, against CHF 648 in February, 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 2,630 a month, against CHF 1,500 for the average one.
