In a typical year, the average Lautoka listing brings in FJD 5,250 in July, its best month, and FJD 2,120 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 Lautoka Airbnb took in FJD 23,875 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about FJD 1,430 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about FJD 2,640 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the FJD 1,060 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about FJD 1,510 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about FJD 1,240 a month.
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.
