Profit
Is an Airbnb in Aberdeenshire Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Aberdeenshire Airbnb took in £19,186 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,040 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 £1,780 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £1,560 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,170 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £900 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 Aberdeenshire's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Aberdeenshire listings are booked on 58% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £135 adds about £1,360 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £185 a night or more, against a median of £135. 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 £1,760 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about £3,400, against £1,530 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Aberdeenshire listings average 4.86 stars, and 57% 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 £2,700 a month, against £1,600 for the average one.
