Earnings
Large, well-established bed and breakfasts can bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, but most owners of average-sized inns earn much lower revenue. In 2024, GlassDoor.com reported that hotel owners received earnings that ranged from $48,000 to $78,000. The U.S. Department of Labor reported in May 2023 that 10 percent of all lodging managers, including bed and breakfast innkeepers, earned $39,270 or less per year. The median annual earnings for lodging managers were $65,360, and 10 percent of lodging managers earned $127,090 or more per year.
Bed and breakfast owners must provide their own benefits, such as health and life insurance and a savings and pension program.
