Gross bookings per Monmouth listing averaged £17,284 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Wales average: £20,023), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Monmouth listing brings in £2,830 in August, its best month, and £1,120 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 3.1 times 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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Monmouth Airbnb took in £17,284 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £980 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 £1,620 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £1,220 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £1,080 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £850 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.

Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Monmouth, known as ADR (average daily rate), was £152 over the past year, about 20% below the Wales and U.K. averages (£190 and £185). Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in July and August at about £150 and bottom out in September and November at about £125.
The top 10% charge about 2.9 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, £133. The 12-month ADR of £152 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Monmouth it averaged £56 over the past year, from about £36 in a typical January to about £91 in a typical August.
