Gross bookings per Breakish listing averaged £36,280 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Scotland average: £28,841), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Breakish listing brings in £5,720 in August, its best month, and £1,420 in February, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: August leads July by 3%, and February sits just 1% below January, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 40% 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 twice as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.
August earns about four times what February does

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Breakish Airbnb took in £36,280 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £2,080 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 £3,080 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £1,580 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £2,210 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,790 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.
