Profit
Is an Airbnb in Waupaca Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Waupaca Airbnb took in $31,794 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,650 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 $2,710 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,920 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,980 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,420 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 Waupaca's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Waupaca listings are booked on 45% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $285 adds about $2,840 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $360 a night or more, against a median of $285. 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 $2,790 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $9,320, against $1,120 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Waupaca listings average 4.92 stars, and 67% 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 $4,310 a month, against $2,650 for the average one.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Waupaca?

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Waupaca?
The average booked night in Waupaca cost $310 before fees. Half of listings charge between $210 and $360, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Waupaca?
None of the active Waupaca listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and occupancy-tax rules with the city or county before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Waupaca?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Waupaca Airbnb grossed $31,794 in the 12 months to September 2026, in line with the Wisconsin average. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $19,814 a year (about $1,650 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 $2,710 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
