Profit
Is an Airbnb in Tenero-Contra Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Tenero-Contra Airbnb took in CHF 18,643 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 980 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 1,370 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 2,510 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 1,190 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 850 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.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about CHF 3,370, against CHF 569 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Tenero-Contra listings average 4.89 stars, and 64% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
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 2,160 a month, against CHF 1,550 for the average one.
