The average Victoria listing brought in RM 1,920 in December, its best month, and RM 823 in March, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 33% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Victoria Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Victoria Airbnb took in RM 9,007 in the 12 months to May 2025, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about RM 930 a month after running costs.
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 Victoria's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Victoria listings are booked on 27% or more of their nights, against 17% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of RM 175 adds about RM 1,770 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge RM 280 a night or more, against a median of RM 175. 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 900 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about RM 1,920, against RM 823 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 1,260 a month, against RM 750 for the average one.
