Profit
Is an Airbnb in Kulim Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kulim Airbnb took in RM 21,557 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 RM 36,180, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about RM 2,210 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 Kulim's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kulim listings are booked on 34% or more of their nights, against 20% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of RM 250 adds about RM 2,490 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge RM 300 a night or more, against a median of RM 250. 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 RM 2,120 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, May brings the average listing about RM 3,510, against RM 1,720 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Kulim listings average 4.80 stars, and 24% 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 RM 3,020 a month, against RM 1,800 for the average one.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Kulim?

Is Airbnb profitable in Kulim?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kulim Airbnb grossed RM 21,557 in the 12 months to October 2026, 40% below the Kedah average of RM 35,715, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about RM 2,210 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
