Profit
Is an Airbnb in Usk Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Usk Airbnb took in £25,081 in the 12 months to November 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £1,530 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 £2,680 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 Usk's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Usk listings are booked on 72% or more of their nights, against 56% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £130 adds about £1,300 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £170 a night or more, against a median of £130. 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 £2,510 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about £3,410, against £2,230 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 £3,650 a month, against £2,090 for the average one.
