# Pension Revenue: How Does It Break Down by Month?

Like all lodging businesses, pensions have peak and off-peak seasons. Year-round peak revenue would be ideal, but Korea's four distinct seasons create inevitable high and low periods.

So what's the actual split between peak and off-peak — and month by month?

Whether you're just starting out or a seasoned operator, understanding these benchmarks can sharpen your operating strategy.

Here's the monthly revenue breakdown based on 2022 ONDA Pension Plus data.

### Peak season is summer — July in particular

July — just before the main August vacation rush — drives the highest revenue of the year. The lowest? February. The gap between them is **4x**.

After July, revenue steadily declines. December, January, and February — the core winter months — average just 30% of July's numbers.

### May through August is everything

May to August accounts for **more than half** of annual revenue.

Post-peak (September–December) slightly outperforms pre-peak (January–April) by around 5%.

### Renovate before peak season

If you had to pick one season to optimize for, make it summer.

There's a reason you see more pensions with outdoor pools than with fireplaces — summer is the target.

Start facility upgrades in January. Get ready for the peak season ahead. That's when the payoff happens.
