Gross bookings per Bangalore listing averaged ₹175,844 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Karnataka average: ₹254,754), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Bangalore listing brings in ₹31,800 in December, its best month, and ₹20,100 in October, its slowest. 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 4.3 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.
December earns about 1.6 times what October does
Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ₹26,200. 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.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in September 2025 and bookings in April 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Bangalore Airbnb took in ₹175,844 in the 12 months to September 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about ₹19,800 a month after running costs.
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.

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 ₹27,000 a month, against ₹14,700 for the average one.

Bangalore listings were booked on 28% of the nights they were open over the past year, 2 percentage points below the Karnataka average (30%) and in line with the India average. Counting only the listings booked in each month and averaging each month over two years, occupancy climbs to 39% in December and falls to 28% in October.
The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 6.7 times as often as the bottom quarter.

The 12-month rate of 28% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.
Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Bangalore, known as ADR (average daily rate), was ₹2,504 over the past year, about 36% below the Karnataka average of ₹3,895 and about 56% below the India average of ₹5,690. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates barely change through the year, staying between about ₹2,610 and ₹2,805.
The top 10% charge about 2.9 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Bangalore it averaged ₹674 over the past year, from about ₹650 in a typical October to about ₹1,030 in a typical December.

Permits
None of the 66 active listings in Bangalore display a registration, permit or license number. That 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 Bangalore.
