Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Panamá?
Gross bookings per Panamá listing averaged $21,462 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Panama average: $14,386), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Panamá listing brings in $3,010 in January, its best month, and $1,680 in May, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: January leads March by 4%, and May sits just 4% below September, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 3.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,640+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,990 or more, roughly $1,200 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $1,820 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $925 or less, about half 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.

Panamá 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.
January 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in July 2026 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Panamá Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Panamá Airbnb took in $21,462 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,210 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 $2,010 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,370 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,320 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,040 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.

Estimate Your Own Panamá Airbnb Profit
The estimate starts from Panamá's average listing, run by its owner. Change how the listing performs, who runs it and who cleans to see what is left for the mortgage or rent.

How Panamá's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Panamá listings are booked on 77% or more of their nights, against 60% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $100 adds about $1,010 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $155 a night or more, against a median of $100. 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 $2,010 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about $3,010, against $1,680 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Panamá listings average 4.71 stars, and 26% 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 $2,940 a month, against $1,790 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Panamá
None of the 462 active listings in Panamá 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 Panamá.

FAQ
Panamá Airbnb FAQ
How much do Airbnb hosts make in Panamá?
An active Panamá Airbnb grossed US$21,462 on average in the 12 months to September 2026, according to AirROI's tracking of 462 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in US$2,990 or more in a typical month.
How much can I make on Airbnb in Panamá?
It depends most on the home's size, location and how it's run. The middle half of Panamá listings earn between US$925 and US$2,990 in a typical month, and the top tenth US$4,640 or more. For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Panamá?
Listings in Panamá were booked on 50% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 38% for the national average. February is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Panamá?
The average booked night in Panamá cost US$131 before fees. Half of listings charge between US$73 and US$155, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Panamá?
None of the active Panamá listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Panamá?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Panamá Airbnb grossed US$21,462 in the 12 months to September 2026, 49% above the national average of US$14,386. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, US$14,512 a year (about US$1,210 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about US$2,010 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
