Revenue
Gross bookings per Volcano listing averaged $36,194 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Hawaii average: $61,223), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Volcano listing brings in $4,150 in July, its best month, and $2,790 in September, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads January by 5%, and September sits just 5% below October, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 28% 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 2.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.
July earns about 1.5 times what September does

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.
The typical Volcano listing earns about $3,250 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb profit calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Volcano Airbnb took in $36,194 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,820 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 $2,850 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $5,370 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,260 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,560 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.

Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Volcano, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $250 over the past year, about 46% below the Hawaii average of $465 and about 22% below the U.S. average of $320. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in June and July at about $245 and bottom out in September and October at about $215.
The top 10% charge about 2.6 times the rate of the bottom quarter.
June rates run 14% above September's
Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The 12-month ADR of $250 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
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 Volcano it averaged $116 over the past year, from about $93 in a typical September to about $135 in a typical February.
