The typical Savannah listing earns about $3,680 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb profit calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Savannah Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Savannah Airbnb took in $43,888 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,190 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 $3,610 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $6,470 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,730 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,880 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 Savannah's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Savannah listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 48% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $235 adds about $2,360 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $350 a night or more, against a median of $235. 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 $3,740 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, March brings the average listing about $6,270, against $3,090 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Savannah listings average 4.81 stars, and 47% 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 $5,970 a month, against $3,660 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Savannah
Savannah allows whole-home rentals of 30 nights or less only in its historic overlay district, with a $400 city STVR certificate, a 20% per-ward cap on non-owner-occupied homes, fines of $500 to $1,000 and about 15% tax plus $5 a night.
None of the 2,534 active listings in Savannah display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
The permit, operating limits and taxes on a stay are set out in the Savannah Airbnb regulations, each rule linked to its official source and checked October 2026.

How much can I make on Airbnb in Savannah?

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Savannah?

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Savannah?
The average booked night in Savannah cost $313 before fees. Half of listings charge between $165 and $350, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Savannah?
Yes, an owner can rent a whole home for 30 nights or less with a city STVR certificate ($400 new, $250 a year to renew), but only in the Downtown, Victorian and Streetcar historic districts, where non-owner-occupied rentals are capped at 20% of homes per ward. The Savannah 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 Savannah?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Savannah Airbnb grossed $43,888 in the 12 months to September 2026, 45% above the Georgia average of $30,219. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $26,328 a year (about $2,190 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 $3,610 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
