Profit
Is an Airbnb in Scalby Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Scalby Airbnb took in £22,952 in the 12 months to June 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,240 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 £1,740 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £2,190 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,420 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,060 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 Scalby's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Scalby listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 45% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £140 adds about £1,380 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £175 a night or more, against a median of £140. 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 £2,080 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about £3,860, against £1,100 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Scalby listings average 4.82 stars, and 59% 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 £2,680 a month, against £1,910 for the average one.
