Profit
Is an Airbnb in Benton Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Benton Airbnb took in $17,570 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $980 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 $1,660 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,120 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $840 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 Benton's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Benton listings are booked on 47% or more of their nights, against 27% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $160 adds about $1,590 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $210 a night or more, against a median of $160. 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 $1,590 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $2,900, against $1,220 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Benton listings average 4.91 stars, and 65% 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 $2,860 a month, against $1,460 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Benton?
The average booked night in Benton cost $186 before fees. Half of listings charge between $120 and $210, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Benton?
None of the active Benton listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and occupancy-tax rules with the city or county before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Benton?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Benton Airbnb grossed $17,570 in the 12 months to September 2026, 58% below the Tennessee average of $42,043. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $11,720 a year (about $980 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 $1,930 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
