Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Brighton?

Gross bookings per Brighton listing averaged $19,033 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Colorado average: $44,642), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Brighton listing brings in $3,830 in July, its best month, and $1,480 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 4.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,590+ a month, about 3.2 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,410 or more, roughly $1,700 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,730 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $747 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 Brighton Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Brighton Airbnb took in $19,033 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,000 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 $1,990 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,040 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,170 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $860 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 Brighton's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Brighton listings are booked on 64% or more of their nights, against 41% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $135 adds about $1,340 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $225 a night or more, against a median of $135. 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 $1,700 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,830, against $1,480 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Brighton listings average 4.80 stars, and 49% 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 $3,130 a month, against $1,590 for the average one.

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Brighton?

Share of open nights booked, by month, October 2024 to September 2026

The 12-month rate of 41% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Brighton?

The average nightly rate in Brighton, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $169 over the past year, about 59% below the Colorado average of $415 and about 50% below the U.S. average of $335. In a typical year, rates peak in June and July at about $170 and bottom out in November and December at about $140.

Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 6.2 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $325+ a night, about 2.4 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $225 or more, about $90 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $135 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge $53 or less, about 40% of the median.

July rates run 21% above November's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, October 2024 to September 2026

The 12-month ADR of $169 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Brighton?

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 Brighton it averaged $75 over the past year, from about $53 in a typical February to about $124 in a typical July.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $149+ per open night, about 2.4 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $113 or more, about $50 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $61 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $22 or less, about a third of the median.

July RevPAR is about 2.3 times February's

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Brighton

None of the 82 active listings in Brighton 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.

Registration, permit, zoning and occupancy-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the city or county before buying or listing in Brighton.
