Gross bookings per Salvan listing averaged CHF 16,517 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Wallis average: CHF 23,227), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Salvan listing brings in CHF 2,690 in July, its best month, and CHF 1,110 in November, its slowest. August runs within 3% of July, so either can come out on top 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 3.7 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.

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, CHF 1,780. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December 2025 and bookings in August 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Salvan Airbnb took in CHF 16,517 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 930 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 1,580 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 1,640 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 1,060 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 800 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.
