Profit
Is an Airbnb in Pohang Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Pohang Airbnb took in ₩12,699,652 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₩750,000 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 ₩1,420,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ₩280,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ₩770,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ₩650,000 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 Pohang's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Pohang listings are booked on 36% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₩140,000 adds about ₩1,400,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₩258,000 a night or more, against a median of ₩140,000. 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 ₩1,240,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about ₩2,300,000, against ₩1,080,000 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Pohang listings average 4.89 stars, and 39% 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 ₩1,980,000 a month, against ₩1,060,000 for the average one.
