Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Incheon?

Gross bookings per Incheon listing averaged ₩11,299,394 over the 12 months to October 2026 (South Korea average: ₩20,847,168), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Incheon listing brings in ₩1,590,000 in August, its best month, and ₩1,100,000 in March, its slowest. October runs within 1% of August, 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 4.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₩3,040,000+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₩1,780,000 or more, roughly ₩900,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ₩876,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₩377,000 or less, about 43% 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.

August earns about 1.4 times what March does

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

The typical Incheon listing earns about ₩876,000 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Incheon Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Incheon Airbnb took in ₩11,299,394 in the 12 months to October 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 ₩22,960,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₩1,350,000 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.

How Incheon's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Incheon listings are booked on 45% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₩95,600 adds about ₩956,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₩153,000 a night or more, against a median of ₩95,600. 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 ₩1,080,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about ₩1,590,000, against ₩1,100,000 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Incheon listings average 4.80 stars, and 30% 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 ₩1,910,000 a month, against ₩940,000 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Incheon?

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 5.5 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 68%+ of open nights, 43 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 45% or more, roughly three nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 25% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 12% or less, less than one night a week.
