Profit
Is an Airbnb in Pontypridd Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Pontypridd Airbnb took in £15,097 in the 12 months to August 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £830 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 £1,430 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the £1,240 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about £930 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about £710 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 Pontypridd's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Pontypridd listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 44% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £84 adds about £842 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £130 a night or more, against a median of £84. 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 £1,390 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about £2,250, against £1,290 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Pontypridd listings average 4.86 stars, and 59% 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 £2,150 a month, against £1,260 for the average one.
