Profit
Is an Airbnb in Dumfries Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Dumfries Airbnb took in £19,490 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,080 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 £1,570 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £1,340 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,190 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £920 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 Dumfries's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Dumfries listings are booked on 72% or more of their nights, against 54% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £99 adds about £993 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £160 a night or more, against a median of £99. 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 £1,820 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about £2,670, against £1,420 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Dumfries listings average 4.82 stars, and 40% 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 £2,360 a month, against £1,620 for the average one.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Dumfries Airbnb grossed £19,490 in the 12 months to October 2026, 32% below the Scotland average of £28,841.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about £1,570 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
