Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Shepherdsville?

Gross bookings per Shepherdsville listing averaged $28,883 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 Shepherdsville listing brings in $4,310 in July, its best month, and $2,150 in February, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads June by 5%, and February sits just 2% below January, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 3.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $6,970+ a month, about 3.3 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,910 or more, roughly $1,800 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $2,130 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,200 or less, about 56% 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.

Shepherdsville 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.

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

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Shepherdsville Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Shepherdsville Airbnb took in $28,883 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,600 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 $2,970 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,130 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,860 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,390 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 Shepherdsville's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Shepherdsville listings are booked on 65% or more of their nights, against 43% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $170 adds about $1,720 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $230 a night or more, against a median of $170. 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 $2,580 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $4,310, against $2,150 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Shepherdsville listings average 4.83 stars, and 68% 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 $4,420 a month, against $2,410 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Shepherdsville

None of the 37 active listings in Shepherdsville 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 Shepherdsville.
