Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Billings?
Gross bookings per Billings listing averaged $22,430 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Montana average: $40,592), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Billings listing brings in $3,600 in July, its best month, and $1,720 in February, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads June by 5%, and February sits just 1% below January, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 three times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,350+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,580 or more, roughly $1,400 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $2,220 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,190 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.

Billings Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in June 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Billings Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Billings Airbnb took in $22,430 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,230 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 $2,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,080 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,400 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,060 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 Billings's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Billings listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 49% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $140 adds about $1,420 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $205 a night or more, against a median of $140. 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 $2,040 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,600, against $1,720 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Billings listings average 4.87 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 $3,010 a month, against $1,870 for the average one.

Is Airbnb profitable in Billings?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Billings Airbnb grossed $22,430 in the 12 months to September 2026, 45% below the Montana average of $40,592. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $14,750 a year (about $1,230 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 $2,000 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
