Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Duluth?

Gross bookings per Duluth listing averaged $42,339 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Minnesota average: $31,531), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Duluth listing brings in $7,910 in July, its best month, and $2,240 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 41% 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 3.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $9,290+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $6,250 or more, roughly $2,600 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $3,640 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,810 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.

July earns about 3.5 times what February does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Duluth Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Duluth Airbnb took in $42,339 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,310 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 $4,010 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,030 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,650 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,000 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 Duluth's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Duluth listings are booked on 63% or more of their nights, against 44% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $230 adds about $2,310 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $340 a night or more, against a median of $230. 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 $3,830 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $7,910, against $2,240 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Duluth listings average 4.87 stars, and 53% 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 $6,050 a month, against $3,530 for the average one.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Duluth?

The average nightly rate in Duluth, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $283 over the past year, about 9% above the Minnesota average of $260 and about 12% below the U.S. average of $320. In a typical year, rates swing with the seasons, from about $220 in November to about $345 in July.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $505+ a night, about 2.2 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $340 or more, about $110 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $230 a night.

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

The 12-month ADR of $283 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 Duluth?

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 Duluth it averaged $141 over the past year, from about $80 in a typical February to about $255 in a typical July.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $275+ per open night, about 2.4 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $196 or more, about $80 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $114 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $64 or less, about 56% of the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Duluth

20% of the 389 active listings in Duluth 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 Duluth.

Bigger, professionally run homes tend to carry more amenities, so these gaps reflect the kind of listing as much as the feature itself.
