Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Frankfort?

Gross bookings per Frankfort listing averaged $37,446 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Kentucky average: $27,730), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Frankfort listing brings in $4,580 in October, its best month, and $2,200 in January, its slowest. July runs within 3% of October, so either can come out on top in a given year. 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 3.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $7,770+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $4,740 or more, roughly $2,100 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $2,640 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,410 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.

October earns about twice what January does

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

Frankfort Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in June 2026 and bookings in October 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, October is usually the strongest month.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Frankfort Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Frankfort Airbnb took in $37,446 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,960 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 $3,560 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,370 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,330 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,690 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 Frankfort's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Frankfort listings are booked on 59% or more of their nights, against 41% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $200 adds about $2,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $330 a night or more, against a median of $200. 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 $3,310 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, October brings the average listing about $4,580, against $2,200 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Frankfort listings average 4.88 stars, and 67% 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 $5,600 a month, against $3,120 for the average one.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 3.2 times as often as the bottom quarter.

Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month rate of 41% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Frankfort?

The average nightly rate in Frankfort, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $282 over the past year, about 13% above the Kentucky average of $250 and about 12% below the U.S. average of $320. In a typical year, rates peak in May and June at about $300 and bottom out in November and December at about $230.

Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 3.6 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $535+ a night, about 2.7 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $330 or more, about $130 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $200 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge $150 or less, about three-quarters of the median.

May rates run 30% above December's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month ADR of $282 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Frankfort?

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 Frankfort it averaged $122 over the past year, from about $71 in a typical January to about $148 in a typical June.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $236+ per open night, about 2.9 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $141 or more, about $60 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $82 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $53 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Frankfort

None of the 220 active listings in Frankfort 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 Frankfort.
