Gross bookings per Silba listing averaged €4,792 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Zadar County average: €9,480), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Silba listing brings in €3,100 in July, its best month, and €506 in December, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 49% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Silba Airbnb took in €4,792 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 €7,040, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €420 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.
