Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kapaʻa Airbnb took in $71,822 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $3,630 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 $5,190 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $9,080 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $4,390 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $3,110 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.
