Profit
Is an Airbnb in Wilayah Persekutuan Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Wilayah Persekutuan Airbnb took in RM 27,588 in the 12 months to September 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 42,980, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about RM 2,550 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 Wilayah Persekutuan's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Wilayah Persekutuan listings are booked on 63% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of RM 235 adds about RM 2,360 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge RM 355 a night or more, against a median of RM 235. 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 2,640 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about RM 8,520, against RM 2,440 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Wilayah Persekutuan listings average 4.56 stars, and 0% 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 3,580 a month, against RM 2,300 for the average one.
