Gross bookings per Suchitoto listing averaged $4,109 over the 12 months to October 2026 (El Salvador average: $12,861), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Suchitoto listing brings in $920 in December, its best month, and $464 in May, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: December leads November by 2%, and May sits just 4% below September, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 3.5 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.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in January 2026 and bookings in November 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Suchitoto Airbnb took in $4,109 in the 12 months to October 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 $7,320, 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.
