Gross bookings per Isle listing averaged $28,792 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 Isle listing brings in $7,680 in July, its best month, and $1,440 in April, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 46% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Isle Airbnb took in $28,792 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,550 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 $2,210 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,200 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,820 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,340 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.
