What is the average Airbnb occupancy in Korea?

Seoul, Busan, and Jeju metro listings sit around 60–65% median (Inside Airbnb + PriceBnb preliminary analysis). Expect ±15% by neighborhood, season, and property type.

What if my break-even is above 65%?

A break-even above market median (62%) signals (1) fixed costs are above market or (2) nightly is below market. We recommend reviewing competitor pricing in a PriceBnb report before adjusting.

Should cleaning fee count as variable cost?

If guests pay cleaning separately, exclude it (revenue = nightly only). If you bundle cleaning into nightly and pay an external cleaner, include it as variable. Just be consistent.

How accurate is this for my listing?

The math is exact given accurate inputs. But to track actual occupancy and compare against competitors you need PriceBnb weekly reports.

How it works

monthly net profit = (nightly × stayNights − variablePerStay) × monthlyStays − fixedMonthly. monthlyStays = 30 × occupancy ÷ avgStayLength. We solve the equation for occupancy at (a) profit = 0 (break-even) and (b) profit = your goal. Note: nightly is an average — listings with sharp weekday/weekend differentiation may see different results in practice. For a precise model, sign up for a free PriceBnb report.
