Profit
Is an Airbnb in Brisbane City Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Brisbane City Airbnb took in A$45,315 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$2,390 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 A$3,460 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$4,990 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$2,810 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$2,050 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 Brisbane City's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Brisbane City listings are booked on 75% or more of their nights, against 57% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$290 adds about A$2,920 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$370 a night or more, against a median of A$290. 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 A$4,030 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about A$6,540, against A$3,370 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Brisbane City listings average 4.74 stars, and 34% 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 A$5,420 a month, against A$3,780 for the average one.
