How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Abuja?
Gross bookings per Abuja listing averaged ₦4,316,455 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Nigeria average: ₦7,091,923), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Abuja listing brings in ₦1,010,000 in July, its best month, and ₦649,000 in October, its slowest. November runs within 2% of October, so either can be the slowest 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.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₦2,010,000+ a month, about 3.7 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₦1,180,000 or more, roughly ₦630,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₦549,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₦227,000 or less, about 41% 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.

Abuja Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Abuja listing earns about ₦549,000 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Abuja Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Abuja Airbnb took in ₦4,316,455 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 ₦9,277,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₦555,000 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 Abuja's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Abuja listings are booked on 45% or more of their nights, against 24% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₦73,900 adds about ₦739,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₦119,000 a night or more, against a median of ₦73,900. 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 ₦414,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about ₦1,010,000, against ₦649,000 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Abuja listings average 4.73 stars, and 21% 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 ₦773,000 a month, against ₦360,000 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Abuja

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 Abuja.

Yes, when it's run well. The average Abuja Airbnb grossed ₦4,316,455 in the 12 months to October 2026, 39% below the national average of ₦7,091,923, 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 ₦555,000 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
