Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Bethel?

Gross bookings per Bethel listing averaged $42,311 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Maine average: $37,768), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Bethel listing brings in $7,680 in February, its best month, and $2,490 in April, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 37% 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 four times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $11,800+ a month, about 3.3 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $6,640 or more, roughly $3,100 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $3,570 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,660 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 three times what April does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Bethel Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Bethel Airbnb took in $42,311 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,100 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 $3,950 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $6,690 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,660 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,800 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 Bethel's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bethel listings are booked on 48% or more of their nights, against 32% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $355 adds about $3,550 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $520 a night or more, against a median of $355. 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 $3,560 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, February brings the average listing about $7,680, against $2,490 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Bethel listings average 4.90 stars, and 62% 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 $6,560 a month, against $3,530 for the average one.

  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $520 or more, about $170 above the median.

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

The 12-month ADR of $422 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 Bethel?

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 Bethel it averaged $160 over the past year, from about $83 in a typical April to about $274 in a typical February.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $314+ per open night, about 2.7 times the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Bethel

None of the 340 active listings in Bethel 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 Bethel.
