Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Islamabad?
Gross bookings per Islamabad listing averaged Rs 604,608 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Pakistan average: Rs 679,660), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Islamabad listing brings in Rs 160,000 in July, its best month, and Rs 107,000 in February, its slowest. June runs within 2% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 29% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 5.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn Rs 283,000+ a month, about 4.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn Rs 151,000 or more, roughly Rs 84,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about Rs 66,800 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn Rs 26,800 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.
July earns about 1.5 times what February does

Islamabad 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Islamabad Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Islamabad Airbnb took in Rs 604,608 in the 12 months to September 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 Rs 84,100 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 Islamabad's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Islamabad listings are booked on 36% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of Rs 10,500 adds about Rs 105,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge Rs 17,800 a night or more, against a median of Rs 10,500. 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 Rs 58,800 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about Rs 160,000, against Rs 107,000 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Islamabad listings average 4.82 stars, and 40% 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 Rs 113,700 a month, against Rs 50,400 for the average one.
Occupancy

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Islamabad?

A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn Rs 7,630+ per open night, about 3.3 times the median.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Islamabad
None of the 905 active listings in Islamabad 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 Islamabad.
