Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in York?
Gross bookings per York listing averaged £23,362 over the 12 months to September 2026 (England average: £19,455), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average York listing brings in £3,320 in July, its best month, and £1,530 in January, its slowest. August runs within 1% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 2.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn £4,740+ a month, about 2.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn £3,330 or more, roughly £1,200 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about £2,170 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn £1,130 or less, about half of the median.
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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in York Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average York Airbnb took in £23,362 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,200 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 £1,860 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £2,860 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,430 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,030 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 York's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of York listings are booked on 70% or more of their nights, against 48% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £155 adds about £1,540 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £210 a night or more, against a median of £155. 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 £2,050 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about £3,320, against £1,530 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. York listings average 4.80 stars, and 47% 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 £2,990 a month, against £1,950 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in York?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in York?

Is Airbnb profitable in York?
Yes, when it's run well. The average York Airbnb grossed £23,362 in the 12 months to September 2026, 20% above the England average of £19,455.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about £1,860 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
