How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Index?
Gross bookings per Index listing averaged $49,420 over the 12 months to April 2026 (Washington State average: $38,578), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Index listing brought in $7,820 in July, its best month, and $2,740 in March, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 38% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Index's 18 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $8,920+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $6,470 or more, roughly $3,100 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $3,420 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,960 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.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month. 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. *Apr 2026 is the latest month and looks incomplete: its occupancy sits well below the calendar months either side of it, as the latest month often does before late bookings are recorded. It may be revised and is not counted as a best or worst month.
The typical Index listing earns about $3,420 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb estimator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Index Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Index Airbnb took in $49,420 in the 12 months to April 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,470 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 $4,730 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $7,100 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $3,060 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,120 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 Index's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Index listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 46% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $250 adds about $2,490 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $360 a night or more, against a median of $250. 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 $4,230 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about $7,820, against $2,740 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Index listings average 4.90 stars, and 61% 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 $7,790 a month, against $4,120 for the average one.
