Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Hayward?

Gross bookings per Hayward listing averaged $31,852 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Wisconsin average: $33,105), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Hayward listing brings in $7,600 in July, its best month, and $1,840 in April, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 46% 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 2.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $7,340+ a month, about 2.3 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $4,700 or more, roughly $1,600 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $3,140 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $2,020 or less, about two-thirds 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.

July earns about 4.1 times what April does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Hayward Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Hayward Airbnb took in $31,852 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,640 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 $2,480 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,370 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,010 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,410 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 Hayward's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Hayward 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 $260 adds about $2,580 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $400 a night or more, against a median of $260. 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 $2,750 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $7,600, against $1,840 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Hayward listings average 4.89 stars, and 60% 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 $3,980 a month, against $2,650 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Hayward?

Hayward listings were booked on 42% of the nights they were open over the past year, 4 percentage points above the Wisconsin average (38%) and in line with the U.S. average. In a typical year, occupancy swings from 33% in April to 69% in July.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 3.5 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 79%+ of open nights, 37 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 63% or more, roughly four nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 42% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 23% or less, under two nights a week.

July is usually the busiest month in Hayward, April the quietest

Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month rate of 42% 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 Hayward?

The average nightly rate in Hayward, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $330 over the past year, about the same as the Wisconsin and U.S. averages ($325 and $320). In a typical year, rates peak in July at about $355 and bottom out in November and December at about $260.

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

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $545+ a night, about 2.1 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $400 or more, about $140 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $260 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge $185 or less, about three-quarters of the median.

July rates run 38% above December's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month ADR of $330 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Hayward?

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 Hayward it averaged $149 over the past year, from about $61 in a typical April to about $245 in a typical July.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $251+ per open night, about 2.1 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $174 or more, about $55 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $118 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $75 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

July RevPAR is about four times April's

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Hayward

None of the 88 active listings in Hayward 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 Hayward.
