Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Jay?

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.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $10,400+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $6,460 or more, roughly $2,500 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $3,970 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $2,240 or less, about 57% 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.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Jay Profitable?

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.

How Jay's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Jay listings are booked on 51% or more of their nights, against 34% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $380 adds about $3,810 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $525 a night or more, against a median of $380. 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 $4,020 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, February brings the average listing about $10,100, against $1,730 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Jay listings average 4.88 stars, and 70% 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 $6,250 a month, against $3,840 for the average one.

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

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Jay?

The top 10% charge about three times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $770+ a night, about twice the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $525 or more, about $150 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $380 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge $260 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Jay?

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.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $396+ per open night, about 2.2 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $248 or more, about $65 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $182 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $121 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

February RevPAR is about 6.2 times September's

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Jay

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Jay?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Jay?

Is Airbnb profitable in Jay?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Jay Airbnb grossed $46,063 in the 12 months to September 2026, 20% above the Vermont average of $38,492.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $3,940 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
