Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Mexico City?

Gross bookings per Mexico City listing averaged MX$303,772 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Mexico average: MX$218,840), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Mexico City listing brings in MX$31,700 in December, its best month, and MX$23,800 in September, its slowest. March runs within 2% of December, so either can come out on top in a given year. The swing is mild: the best month earns about 33% more than the slowest.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn MX$75,700+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn MX$42,400 or more, roughly MX$21,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about MX$21,400 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn MX$9,260 or less, about 43% 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.

Average monthly revenue per Mexico City listing

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, MX$31,000. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

Mexico City Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.

June 2026 led on revenue and nightly rate; bookings peaked in December 2025. June and July 2026 were one-offs: listings earned about 2.2 times what they did in the same months a year earlier, so the seasonal averages on this page leave them out. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

The typical Mexico City listing earns about MX$21,400 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb profit calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Mexico City Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Mexico City Airbnb took in MX$303,772 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$17,800 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 MX$35,600 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the MX$15,600 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about MX$19,100 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about MX$15,400 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.

How Mexico City's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Mexico City listings are booked on 73% or more of their nights, against 50% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$1,365 adds about MX$13,700 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$2,340 a night or more, against a median of MX$1,365. 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 MX$28,800 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about MX$31,700, against MX$23,800 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Mexico City listings average 4.76 stars, and 38% 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 MX$50,200 a month, against MX$25,300 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Mexico City?

Mexico City listings were booked on 46% of the nights they were open over the past year, 13 percentage points above the Mexico average (33%). Counting only the listings booked in each month and averaging each month over two years, occupancy climbs to 58% in February and falls to 46% in May.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 3.4 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 87%+ of open nights, 37 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 73% or more, roughly five nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 50% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 25% or less, under two nights a week.

February is usually the busiest month in Mexico City, May the quietest

Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month rate of 46% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Mexico City?

The average nightly rate in Mexico City, known as ADR (average daily rate), was MX$2,204 over the past year, about 14% below the Mexico average of MX$2,565. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in May and August at about MX$1,875 and bottom out in September at about MX$1,585.

Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about five times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge MX$4,000+ a night, about three times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge MX$2,340 or more, about MX$980 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about MX$1,365 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge MX$810 or less, about 59% of the median.

August rates run 18% above September's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, MX$1,850. The 12-month ADR of MX$2,204 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Mexico City?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Mexico City it averaged MX$1,030 over the past year. Counting only the listings booked in each month and averaging each month over two years, it runs from about MX$794 in September to about MX$1,030 in February.

A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn MX$2,180+ per open night, about 3.4 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn MX$1,240 or more, about MX$600 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about MX$640 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn MX$304 or less, about half of the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Mexico City

None of the 21,536 active listings in Mexico City display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Mexico City.
