Gross bookings per Xiaoliuqiu listing averaged NT$177,911 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Pingtung County average: NT$192,587), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Xiaoliuqiu listing brings in NT$28,500 in July, its best month, and NT$17,200 in January, its slowest. August runs within 3% of July, 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 5.1 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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Xiaoliuqiu Airbnb took in NT$177,911 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$342,800, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NT$21,400 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.
