Gross bookings per Mati listing averaged ₱181,522 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Philippines average: ₱278,920), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Mati listing brings in ₱36,500 in December, its best month, and ₱20,800 in October, its slowest. February runs within 5% of October, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 4.7 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.
December earns about 1.8 times what October does

Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Mati Airbnb took in ₱181,522 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 ₱21,700 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.
