Profit
Is an Airbnb in Leeds Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Leeds Airbnb took in £11,281 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £630 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 £1,190 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £880 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £700 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £540 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 Leeds's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Leeds listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £95 adds about £954 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £140 a night or more, against a median of £95. 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 £1,040 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about £1,850, against £1,130 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Leeds listings average 4.71 stars, and 32% 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 £1,760 a month, against £940 for the average one.

FAQ
Leeds Airbnb FAQ
How much do Airbnb hosts make in Leeds?
An active Leeds Airbnb grossed £11,281 on average in the 12 months to September 2026, according to AirROI's tracking of 942 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in £1,960 or more in a typical month.
How much can I make on Airbnb in Leeds?
It depends most on the home's size, location and how it's run. The middle half of Leeds listings earn between £459 and £1,960 in a typical month, and the top tenth £2,920 or more. For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Leeds?
Listings in Leeds were booked on 37% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 40% for the England average. September is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Leeds?
The average booked night in Leeds cost £114 before fees. Half of listings charge between £59 and £140, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Leeds?
Fewer than 1% of active Leeds listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Leeds?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Leeds Airbnb grossed £11,281 in the 12 months to September 2026, 42% below the England average of £19,455. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, £7,541 a year (about £630 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about £1,190 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
