Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Santiago?

Gross bookings per Santiago listing averaged CLP 4,393,958 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Santiago Metropolitan Region average: CLP 6,464,236), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Santiago listing brings in CLP 913,000 in July, its best month, and CLP 444,000 in April, its slowest. May runs within 5% of April, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CLP 1,160,000+ a month, about 2.3 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn CLP 827,000 or more, roughly CLP 330,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about CLP 501,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CLP 234,000 or less, about half 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.

July earns about twice what April does

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, CLP 601,000. 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.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Santiago Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Santiago Airbnb took in CLP 4,393,958 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 CLP 7,244,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CLP 409,000 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 Santiago's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Santiago listings are booked on 64% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CLP 39,400 adds about CLP 394,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CLP 49,400 a night or more, against a median of CLP 39,400. 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 CLP 401,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about CLP 913,000, against CLP 444,000 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Santiago listings average 4.78 stars, and 40% 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 CLP 604,000 a month, against CLP 366,000 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Santiago

1% of the 5,677 active listings in Santiago display a registration, permit or license number. A low share 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 Santiago.

The gap is smaller for a mosquito net (about 3.6 times as much) and ski-in/ski-out access (about 3.3 times as much). Bigger, professionally run homes tend to carry more amenities, so these gaps reflect the kind of listing as much as the feature itself.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Santiago?

Listings in Santiago were booked on 38% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 39% for the Santiago Metropolitan Region average. August is usually the busiest month.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Santiago?

The average booked night in Santiago cost CLP 45,614 before fees. Half of listings charge between CLP 32,500 and CLP 49,400, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Santiago?

In Santiago, 1% of active listings display a registration, permit or license number. A low share doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.

Is Airbnb profitable in Santiago?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Santiago Airbnb grossed CLP 4,393,958 in the 12 months to September 2026, 32% below the Santiago Metropolitan Region average of CLP 6,464,236, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about CLP 409,000 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
