Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in José Ignacio?

Gross bookings per José Ignacio listing averaged UYU 748,277 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Maldonado average: UYU 484,852), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average José Ignacio listing brings in UYU 327,000 in January, its best month, and UYU 40,500 in August, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 55% 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 4.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn UYU 259,000+ a month, about four times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn UYU 138,000 or more, roughly UYU 74,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about UYU 63,700 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn UYU 29,600 or less, about half 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.

January earns about 8.1 times what August does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in José Ignacio Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average José Ignacio Airbnb took in UYU 748,277 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about UYU 46,600 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 UYU 101,900 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the UYU 34,100 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about UYU 49,500 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about UYU 40,700 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 building or condo fees.

How José Ignacio's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of José Ignacio listings are booked on 36% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of UYU 9,225 adds about UYU 92,300 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge UYU 21,100 a night or more, against a median of UYU 9,225. 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 UYU 71,400 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about UYU 327,000, against UYU 40,500 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. José Ignacio listings average 4.84 stars, and 29% 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 UYU 134,800 a month, against UYU 62,400 for the average one.
