Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Denton?

Gross bookings per Denton listing averaged $22,056 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Texas average: $26,925), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Denton listing brings in $3,130 in June, its best month, and $1,760 in January, its slowest. July runs within 2% of June, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,580+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,460 or more, roughly $1,600 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,830 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $817 or less, about 45% 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.

June earns about 1.8 times what January does

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

The typical Denton listing earns about $1,830 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Denton Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Denton Airbnb took in $22,056 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,190 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 $2,270 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,330 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,380 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,020 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 Denton's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Denton listings are booked on 63% or more of their nights, against 42% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $130 adds about $1,300 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $210 a night or more, against a median of $130. 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 $1,970 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, June brings the average listing about $3,130, against $1,760 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Denton listings average 4.84 stars, and 50% 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 $3,480 a month, against $1,840 for the average one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $159+ per open night, about three times the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Denton

None of the 279 active listings in Denton 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.

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 Denton.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Denton?

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Denton?

The average booked night in Denton cost $173 before fees. Half of listings charge between $77 and $210, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Denton?

Is Airbnb profitable in Denton?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Denton Airbnb grossed $22,056 in the 12 months to September 2026, 18% below the Texas average of $26,925. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $14,246 a year (about $1,190 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 $2,270 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
