- Strong performers (top 25%) earn €1,910 or more, roughly €910 a month above the median.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €596 or less, about 59% of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Cuba Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cuba Airbnb took in €11,930 in the 12 months to December 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €730 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 €1,400 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.

How Cuba's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cuba listings are booked on 51% or more of their nights, against 26% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €170 adds about €1,680 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €275 a night or more, against a median of €170. 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 €1,190 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about €2,870, against €627 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 €1,890 a month, against €990 for the average one.
