- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn KM 210 or less, about 62% of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Zenica Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Zenica Airbnb took in KM 1,876 in the 12 months to May 2025, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about KM 170 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.

How Zenica's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Zenica listings are booked on 26% or more of their nights, against 15% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of KM 77 adds about KM 775 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge KM 110 a night or more, against a median of KM 77. 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 KM 190 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about KM 894, against KM 70 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 KM 240 a month, against KM 160 for the average one.
