Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Los Angeles?
Gross bookings per Los Angeles listing averaged $34,514 over the 12 months to September 2026 (California average: $43,088), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Los Angeles listing brings in $6,120 in July, its best month, and $4,020 in January, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads June by 3%, and January sits just 2% below February, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 $11,300+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $6,270 or more, roughly $3,100 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $3,210 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,350 or less, about 42% 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Los Angeles Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Los Angeles Airbnb took in $34,514 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,010 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 $3,980 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,320 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,210 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,740 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 Los Angeles's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Los Angeles listings are booked on 73% or more of their nights, against 49% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $175 adds about $1,770 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $335 a night or more, against a median of $175. 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 $3,220 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $6,120, against $4,020 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Los Angeles listings average 4.82 stars, and 36% 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 $5,630 a month, against $2,880 for the average one.
Occupancy

Monthly average $285 $350 $256
The 12-month ADR of $302 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 Los Angeles?

Los Angeles Airbnb Minimum Stay Requirements
Booked stays in Los Angeles average about eight nights, and 29% of listings accept stays of one or two nights. Listing settings point the other way: 30 nights or more is the most common minimum, on 46% of listings. Since most bookings are far shorter than a month, that can't be the rule most guests booked under: the setting more likely marks listings kept for monthly tenants, local limits on short stays, or longer minimums hosts set for part of the year.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Los Angeles?
The average booked night in Los Angeles cost $302 before fees. Half of listings charge between $105 and $335, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Los Angeles?
Yes, but only in your primary residence: register with the City of Los Angeles Home-Sharing program, host up to 120 nights a year (more with Extended Home-Sharing) and show the registration number in every listing; second homes, investment properties and rent-stabilized units are not eligible. The Los Angeles Airbnb regulations set out the permit, its cost, the taxes on a stay and the operating limits, each linked to its official source.
Is Airbnb profitable in Los Angeles?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Los Angeles Airbnb grossed $34,514 in the 12 months to September 2026, 20% below the California average of $43,088. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $24,154 a year (about $2,010 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 $3,980 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
