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.

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.

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.
