Profit
Is an Airbnb in Prilep Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Prilep Airbnb took in MKD 85,949 in the 12 months to October 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about MKD 10,320 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.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about MKD 24,600, against MKD 5,330 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
