How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Erbil?
Gross bookings per Erbil listing averaged IQD 5,413,558 over the 12 months to October 2026, before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Erbil listing brings in IQD 1,320,000 in December, its best month, and IQD 882,000 in January, its slowest. March runs within 1% of January, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn IQD 2,120,000+ a month, about three times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn IQD 1,500,000 or more, roughly IQD 800,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about IQD 704,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn IQD 351,000 or less, about half of the median.
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.

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

The typical Erbil listing earns about IQD 704,000 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb revenue calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Erbil Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Erbil Airbnb took in IQD 5,413,558 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 IQD 11,517,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about IQD 653,000 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.

How Erbil's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Erbil listings are booked on 42% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of IQD 108,000 adds about IQD 1,080,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge IQD 135,000 a night or more, against a median of IQD 108,000. 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 IQD 501,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about IQD 1,320,000, against IQD 882,000 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Erbil listings average 4.85 stars, and 49% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
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 IQD 960,000 a month, against IQD 451,000 for the average one.
