Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Elbasan?

Gross bookings per Elbasan listing averaged ALL 190,111 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Central Albania average: ALL 511,590), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Elbasan listing brings in ALL 48,700 in August, its best month, and ALL 16,800 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 37% 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 3.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ALL 67,000+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
Strong performers (top 25%) earn ALL 42,200 or more, roughly ALL 17,000 a month above the median.
Typical properties (median) earn about ALL 25,000 a month.
Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ALL 13,100 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.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Elbasan Profitable?

Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Elbasan Airbnb took in ALL 190,111 in the 12 months to September 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about ALL 19,800 a month after running costs.

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.

Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about ALL 48,700, against ALL 16,800 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
