Gross bookings per Mendrisio listing averaged CHF 8,282 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Ticino average: CHF 15,853), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Mendrisio listing brings in CHF 2,000 in July, its best month, and CHF 686 in February, its slowest. January runs within 4% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 36% 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 3.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.
July earns about three times what February does

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Mendrisio Airbnb took in CHF 8,282 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 440 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 830 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 890 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 520 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 380 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.
