Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Napa?

Gross bookings per Napa listing averaged $45,014 over the 12 months to September 2026 (California average: $43,088), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Napa listing brings in $7,210 in May, its best month, and $3,480 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $13,000+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $8,160 or more, roughly $3,800 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $4,320 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,860 or less, about 43% 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.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Napa Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Napa Airbnb took in $45,014 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,560 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 $4,890 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,710 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,870 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,220 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 HOA or condo fees.

How Napa's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Napa listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $360 adds about $3,600 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $585 a night or more, against a median of $360. 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 $4,130 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, May brings the average listing about $7,210, against $3,480 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Napa listings average 4.87 stars, and 47% 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 $7,090 a month, against $3,750 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Napa

Airbnb is legal in the City of Napa only with a capped city permit: 41 whole-house permits (all taken) and 60 owner-occupied hosted permits. Taxes total 15%, and fines reach $1,000 a day.

None of the 599 active listings in Napa display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

The permit, operating limits and taxes on a stay are set out in the Napa Airbnb regulations, each rule linked to its official source and checked October 2026.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Napa?

The average booked night in Napa cost $457 before fees. Half of listings charge between $240 and $585, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Napa?

Yes, with a City of Napa vacation rental permit: owners who live in the home can rent up to two bedrooms, but a whole-house rental needs one of 41 permits that are all taken. The Napa Airbnb regulations set out the permit, its cost, the taxes on a stay and the operating limits, each linked to its official source.

Is Airbnb profitable in Napa?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Napa Airbnb grossed $45,014 in the 12 months to September 2026, in line with the California average. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $30,754 a year (about $2,560 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $4,890 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
