Gross bookings per San Luis listing averaged UYU 146,763 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Canelones average: UYU 234,992), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average San Luis listing brings in UYU 58,900 in January, its best month, and UYU 10,200 in August, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 44% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average San Luis Airbnb took in UYU 146,763 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about UYU 256,800, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about UYU 16,200 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 building or condo fees.
