Gross bookings per Pilar listing averaged ₱192,649 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Surigao del Norte average: ₱491,386), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Pilar listing brings in ₱42,600 in August, its best month, and ₱23,300 in September, its slowest. 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 4.1 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, when it's run well. The average Pilar Airbnb took in ₱192,649 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about ₱445,700, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₱27,900 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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.

Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Pilar, known as ADR (average daily rate), was ₱4,306 over the past year, about 8% below the Surigao del Norte average of ₱4,690 and about 19% above the Philippines average of ₱3,620.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ₱4,620. The 12-month ADR of ₱4,306 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Pilar it averaged ₱759 over the past year. Counting only the listings booked in each month and averaging each month over two years, it runs from about ₱777 in September to about ₱1,370 in August.
A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

Seasonality
With only 32 active listings, the monthly pattern in Pilar is noisy, since a few long or pricey stays can lift a month; revenue has tended to peak in August and bottom out in September.
September 2025 is left out of these averages as a one-off: listings earned about 58% more than they did in September 2024. It still counts in the 12-month figures at the top of the page.

Permits
None of the 32 active listings in Pilar 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.
