Gross bookings per Kanton Sarajevo listing averaged KM 7,782 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Bosnia & Herzegovina average: KM 10,392), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Kanton Sarajevo listing brings in KM 3,810 in August, its best month, and KM 773 in March, its slowest. September runs within 2% of March, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 47% 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 3.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.
August earns about five times what March does

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kanton Sarajevo Airbnb took in KM 7,782 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about KM 15,610, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about KM 950 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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.
