Profit
Is an Airbnb in St. Charles Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average St. Charles Airbnb took in $35,260 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,890 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 $2,960 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,890 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,210 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,620 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 St. Charles's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of St. Charles listings are booked on 65% or more of their nights, against 50% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $220 adds about $2,190 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $320 a night or more, against a median of $220. 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 $3,140 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $6,160, against $2,260 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. St. Charles listings average 4.88 stars, and 73% 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 $4,570 a month, against $2,940 for the average one.

Is Airbnb profitable in St. Charles?
Yes, when it's run well. The average St. Charles Airbnb grossed $35,260 in the 12 months to September 2026, in line with the Illinois average.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $2,960 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
