Profit
Is an Airbnb in Baton Rouge Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Baton Rouge Airbnb took in $19,016 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $990 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 $1,760 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,540 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,200 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $850 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 Baton Rouge's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Baton Rouge listings are booked on 56% or more of their nights, against 35% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $165 adds about $1,670 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $240 a night or more, against a median of $165. 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 $1,650 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,070, against $1,720 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Baton Rouge listings average 4.78 stars, and 46% 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 $2,810 a month, against $1,580 for the average one.
