Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month. 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. *Jun 2026 is the latest month and looks incomplete: its occupancy sits well below the calendar months either side of it, as the latest month often does before late bookings are recorded. It may be revised and is not counted as a best or worst month.
The typical Meilen listing earns about CHF 2,660 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
Is an Airbnb in Meilen Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Meilen Airbnb took in CHF 20,525 in the 12 months to June 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 1,110 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 1,800 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 2,260 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 1,300 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 960 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 Meilen's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Meilen listings are booked on 66% or more of their nights, against 49% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CHF 160 adds about CHF 1,620 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CHF 215 a night or more, against a median of CHF 160. 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 1,830 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about CHF 4,300, against CHF 1,680 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Meilen listings average 4.79 stars, and 38% 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 2,750 a month, against CHF 1,710 for the average one.
