Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Bloomington?

Gross bookings per Bloomington listing averaged $29,053 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Indiana average: $29,086), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Bloomington listing brings in $4,290 in September, its best month, and $1,970 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 3.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $7,150+ a month, about 3.2 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $4,190 or more, roughly $2,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $2,230 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,110 or less, about half 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.

September earns about 2.2 times what January does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Bloomington Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Bloomington Airbnb took in $29,053 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,570 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 $2,980 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,710 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,800 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,350 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 Bloomington's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bloomington listings are booked on 50% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $230 adds about $2,310 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $375 a night or more, against a median of $230. 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 $2,630 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, September brings the average listing about $4,290, against $1,970 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Bloomington listings average 4.87 stars, and 59% 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 $4,540 a month, against $2,420 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Bloomington

None of the 744 active listings in Bloomington 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 Bloomington.
