Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Baltimore?
Gross bookings per Baltimore listing averaged $18,816 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Maryland average: $29,651), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Baltimore listing brings in $2,920 in July, its best month, and $1,730 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 31% 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 $5,020+ a month, about 2.9 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,200 or more, roughly $1,500 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $1,750 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $787 or less, about 45% 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Baltimore Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Baltimore Airbnb took in $18,816 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,000 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 $1,850 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,290 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,190 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $860 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 Baltimore's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Baltimore listings are booked on 64% or more of their nights, against 42% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $115 adds about $1,140 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $185 a night or more, against a median of $115. 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 $2,920, against $1,730 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Baltimore listings average 4.72 stars, and 32% 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 $2,870 a month, against $1,570 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Baltimore?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Baltimore?
Yes, if you own the home and live in it: Baltimore licenses short-term rentals only for the owner's permanent residence, for $200 every two years, and issues no new licenses for homes the owner is away from. The Baltimore Airbnb regulations set out the permit, its cost, the taxes on a stay and the operating limits, each linked to its official source.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Baltimore Airbnb grossed $18,816 in the 12 months to September 2026, 37% below the Maryland average of $29,651. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $11,986 a year (about $1,000 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 $1,850 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
