Airbnb market data · 202612 months to September 2026
The average Airbnb in Hsinchu brought in NT$175,597 over the 12 months through September 2026, about 50% less than the national average of NT$351,338.
The short answer
Hsinchu is priced below the national average. Listings averaged NT$2,510 a night, about 30% less than that average of NT$3,600, and were booked on 35% of available nights, close to its 35% occupancy.

Gross bookings per Hsinchu listing averaged NT$175,597 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Taiwan average: NT$351,338), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Hsinchu listing brings in NT$40,200 in July, its best month, and NT$19,500 in March, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 3.7 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.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, NT$32,500. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
November 2025 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in October 2025 and bookings in May 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, July is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Hsinchu Airbnb took in NT$175,597 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 NT$374,800, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NT$24,100 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.

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 Hsinchu it averaged NT$885 over the past year, from about NT$629 in a typical March to about NT$1,300 in a typical July.

Permits
None of the 31 active listings in Hsinchu 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.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Hsinchu.
