Revenue
Gross bookings per Jay listing averaged $46,063 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Vermont average: $38,492), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Jay listing brings in $10,100 in February, its best month, and $1,730 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 50% 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 2.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Jay Airbnb took in $46,063 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,400 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 $3,940 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $5,870 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,890 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,060 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.

The 12-month rate of 43% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.
Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Jay, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $436 over the past year, about 6% above the Vermont average of $410 and about 36% above the U.S. average of $320. In a typical year, rates peak in February at about $485 and bottom out in September and October at about $340.
The top 10% charge about three times the rate of the bottom quarter.

The 12-month ADR of $436 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Jay it averaged $206 over the past year, from about $58 in a typical September to about $359 in a typical February.

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 Jay.

Figures on this page cover 132 active Airbnb listings in Jay from October 2025 to September 2026 (trailing twelve months). AirROI refreshes them monthly from listing-level booking and calendar data covering 20+ million properties worldwide. Money figures are in U.S. dollars. Annual revenue averages every listing active during the period, including those listed for only part of it; monthly figures average the listings active in each month; the tier lists show the spread. Neighborhood descriptions are AI-assisted. See the methodology for definitions.
