Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Stirling?

Gross bookings per Stirling listing averaged £29,149 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 Stirling listing brings in £4,680 in August, its best month, and £1,700 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 36% 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 £5,190+ a month, about twice the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn £3,870 or more, roughly £1,200 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about £2,650 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn £1,610 or less, about 61% 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.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

The typical Stirling listing earns about £2,650 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The short-term rental calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Stirling Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Stirling Airbnb took in £29,149 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,580 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 £2,330 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the £2,420 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,780 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £1,360 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 Stirling's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Stirling 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 £165 adds about £1,640 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £225 a night or more, against a median of £165. 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 £2,670 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about £4,680, against £1,700 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Stirling listings average 4.86 stars, and 65% 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 £3,550 a month, against £2,430 for the average one.
