How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Sejong?
Gross bookings per Sejong listing averaged ₩10,652,233 over the 12 months to May 2025 (South Chungcheong Province average: ₩8,823,853), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Sejong listing brought in ₩1,900,000 in May, its best month, and ₩1,010,000 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 1.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₩2,460,000+ a month, about 2.1 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₩1,570,000 or more, roughly ₩420,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₩1,150,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₩793,000 or less, about two-thirds 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sejong Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sejong Airbnb took in ₩10,652,233 in the 12 months to May 2025, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about ₩14,560,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₩890,000 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 Sejong's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sejong listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 37% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₩86,400 adds about ₩864,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₩154,000 a night or more, against a median of ₩86,400. 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 ₩1,070,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. May brought the average listing about ₩1,900,000, against ₩1,010,000 in January, 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 ₩1,210,000 a month, against ₩890,000 for the average one.

FAQ
Sejong Airbnb FAQ
How much do Airbnb hosts make in Sejong?
An active Sejong Airbnb grossed ₩10,652,233 on average in the 12 months to May 2025, according to AirROI's tracking of 32 active listings. That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in ₩1,570,000 or more in a typical month.
How much can I make on Airbnb in Sejong?
It depends most on the home's size, location and how it's run. The middle half of Sejong listings earn between ₩793,000 and ₩1,570,000 in a typical month, and the top tenth ₩2,460,000 or more. For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Sejong?
Listings in Sejong were booked on 46% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 20% for the South Chungcheong Province average. November was the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Sejong?
The average booked night in Sejong cost ₩109,131 before fees. Half of listings charge between ₩70,600 and ₩154,000, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.

The average Sejong Airbnb grossed ₩10,652,233 in the 12 months to May 2025, 21% above the South Chungcheong Province average of ₩8,823,853, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about ₩890,000 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.

AirROI measures bookings in US dollars; this page shows them in South Korean won at ₩1,448 per US$, the typical rate from November 2025 to October 2026. Annual revenue averages every listing active during the period, including those listed for only part of it; monthly figures average the listings active in each month; the tier lists show the spread.
