Gross bookings per Arima listing averaged TTD 38,233 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Trinidad & Tobago average: TTD 96,256), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Arima listing brings in TTD 8,920 in July, its best month, and TTD 5,220 in September, 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 3.8 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.
July earns about 1.7 times what September does

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Arima Airbnb took in TTD 38,233 in the 12 months to October 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 TTD 70,240, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about TTD 4,110 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.
