Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Crail?

Gross bookings per Crail listing averaged £28,827 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 Crail listing brings in £4,850 in August, its best month, and £1,400 in January, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: August leads July by 1%, and January sits just 4% below February, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 38% 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 2.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn £5,860+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn £3,680 or more, roughly £1,200 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about £2,450 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn £1,580 or less, about two-thirds 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.

August earns about 3.5 times what January does

Average revenue per active listing, by month, October 2024 to September 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, £2,900. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

Crail Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in June 2026 and bookings in August 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, August is usually the strongest month.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Crail Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Crail Airbnb took in £28,827 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,420 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 £2,150 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the £4,090 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,760 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,210 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 Crail's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Crail listings are booked on 59% or more of their nights, against 42% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £185 adds about £1,840 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £320 a night or more, against a median of £185. 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 £2,470 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about £4,850, against £1,400 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Crail listings average 4.86 stars, and 58% 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 £3,610 a month, against £2,400 for the average one.
