Gross bookings per Shawnee listing averaged $28,227 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Kansas average: $24,601), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Shawnee listing brings in $5,180 in July, its best month, and $1,650 in January, 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%.

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
Yes, when it's run well. The average Shawnee Airbnb took in $28,227 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,560 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 $2,860 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,540 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,770 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.

Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The 12-month rate of 42% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.
Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Shawnee, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $257 over the past year, about 25% above the Kansas average of $205 and about 20% below the U.S. average of $320. In a typical year, rates swing with the seasons, from about $170 in October and November to about $390 in July.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 4.8 times the rate of the bottom quarter.
July rates run 128% above October's
Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The 12-month ADR of $257 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 Shawnee it averaged $104 over the past year, from about $53 in a typical January to about $167 in a typical July.

Seasonality
Shawnee has one high season, May through August, which makes it a moderately seasonal market. Business is slowest from January to April and slows again in September. A listing earns about 92% more a month in June through August than in December through February.
June 2026 is left out of these averages as a one-off: listings earned about 73% more than they did in June 2025. It still counts in the 12-month figures at the top of the page.

Permits
None of the 64 active listings in Shawnee 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 Shawnee.
