Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Managua?
Gross bookings per Managua listing averaged C$165,888 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Nicaragua average: C$423,651), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Managua listing brings in C$27,300 in December, its best month, and C$19,700 in February, its slowest. May runs within 2% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The swing is mild: the best month earns about 39% more than the slowest.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 5.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn C$56,300+ a month, about four times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn C$32,800 or more, roughly C$19,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about C$14,300 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn C$5,700 or less, about 40% 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.

Managua 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.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Managua Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Managua Airbnb took in C$165,888 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 C$380,600, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about C$23,200 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 Managua's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Managua listings are booked on 49% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of C$1,570 adds about C$15,700 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge C$2,610 a night or more, against a median of C$1,570. 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 C$16,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about C$27,300, against C$19,700 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Managua listings average 4.79 stars, and 43% 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 C$31,700 a month, against C$13,800 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Managua?

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Managua?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Managua Airbnb grossed C$165,888 in the 12 months to September 2026, 61% below the national average of C$423,651, 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 C$23,200 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
