Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Metairie?

Gross bookings per Metairie listing averaged $11,716 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Louisiana average: $31,540), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Metairie listing brings in $2,520 in February, its best month, and $1,540 in August, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,190+ a month, about 3.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,310 or more, roughly $1,200 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,160 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $547 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.

February earns about 1.6 times what August does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Metairie Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Metairie Airbnb took in $11,716 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $680 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 $1,380 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $770 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $750 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $590 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.

Estimate Your Own Metairie Airbnb Profit

The estimate starts from Metairie's average listing, run by its owner. Change how the listing performs, who runs it and who cleans to see what is left for the mortgage or rent.

How Metairie's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Metairie listings are booked on 57% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $97 adds about $970 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $150 a night or more, against a median of $97. 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 $1,090 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, February brings the average listing about $2,520, against $1,540 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Metairie listings average 4.82 stars, and 34% 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 $1,950 a month, against $980 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Metairie

5% of the 119 active listings in Metairie display a registration, permit or license number. A low share 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 Metairie.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Metairie Airbnb grossed $11,716 in the 12 months to September 2026, 63% below the Louisiana average of $31,540.
