Gross bookings per San Francisco listing averaged ₱130,904 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Cebu average: ₱272,549), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average San Francisco listing brings in ₱29,600 in January, its best month, and ₱16,800 in September, its slowest. March runs within 3% of January, so either can come out on top 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 4.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average San Francisco Airbnb took in ₱130,904 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 ₱18,200 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.
