In a typical year, the average Orselina listing brings in CHF 3,690 in July, its best month, and CHF 674 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 44% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

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.

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.
The typical Orselina listing earns about CHF 1,630 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb income calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Orselina Airbnb took in CHF 16,731 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 1,610 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 1,900 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 1,100 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 820 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.
