Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Cleveland?
Gross bookings per Cleveland listing averaged $20,359 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Ohio average: $27,235), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Cleveland listing brings in $3,780 in July, its best month, and $1,780 in February, its slowest. January runs within 2% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 3.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,490+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,640 or more, roughly $1,600 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $2,080 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $978 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.

Cleveland 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 Cleveland Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cleveland Airbnb took in $20,359 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,090 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 $1,930 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,320 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,280 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $940 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 Cleveland's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cleveland listings are booked on 66% or more of their nights, against 43% 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 $1,800 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,780, against $1,780 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Cleveland listings average 4.74 stars, and 29% 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 $2,970 a month, against $1,700 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Cleveland
Yes. Cleveland requires a $150 annual short-term rental license from November 28, 2026, with a 10% per-block cap and a $5,000 fine for operating without one; until then residence districts allow only a primary residence to host, under 91 days a year.
None of the 1,844 active listings in Cleveland display a registration, permit or license number. That 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.
The permit, operating limits and taxes on a stay are set out in the Cleveland Airbnb regulations, each rule linked to its official source and checked October 2026.
