How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Richmond?
Gross bookings per Richmond listing averaged $21,812 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 Richmond listing brings in $2,740 in October, its best month, and $1,620 in February, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: October leads July by 3%, and February sits just 2% below January, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 29% 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 2.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,540+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,950 or more, roughly $1,200 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $1,750 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,080 or less, about 62% 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.

The typical Richmond listing earns about $1,750 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
Is an Airbnb in Richmond Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Richmond Airbnb took in $21,812 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,140 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 $1,930 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,680 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,360 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $980 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 Richmond's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Richmond listings are booked on 55% or more of their nights, against 39% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $140 adds about $1,410 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $200 a night or more, against a median of $140. 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 $1,910 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, October brings the average listing about $2,740, against $1,620 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Richmond listings average 4.93 stars, and 84% 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 $3,060 a month, against $1,820 for the average one.

Permits

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Richmond?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Richmond?

Is Airbnb profitable in Richmond?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Richmond Airbnb grossed $21,812 in the 12 months to September 2026, 21% below the Kentucky average of $27,730. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $13,662 a year (about $1,140 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $1,930 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
