Profit
Is an Airbnb in Nantou City Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Nantou City Airbnb took in NT$333,071 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NT$21,600 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 NT$62,100 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the NT$2,500 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about NT$21,800 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about NT$18,800 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 Nantou City's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Nantou City listings are booked on 25% or more of their nights, against 15% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of NT$3,115 adds about NT$31,200 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge NT$11,900 a night or more, against a median of NT$3,115. 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 NT$33,100 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about NT$57,300, against NT$25,600 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Nantou City listings average 4.68 stars, and 9% 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 NT$78,900 a month, against NT$27,800 for the average one.
