Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Bengaluru?
Gross bookings per Bengaluru listing averaged ₹265,294 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 Bengaluru listing brings in ₹42,700 in July, its best month, and ₹32,400 in September, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads December by 1%, and September sits just 1% below April, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The swing is mild: the best month earns about 32% more than the slowest.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₹83,600+ a month, about 3.6 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹46,100 or more, roughly ₹23,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₹23,200 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₹10,000 or less, about 43% 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.

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 Bengaluru listing earns about ₹23,200 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb income calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bengaluru Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Bengaluru Airbnb took in ₹265,294 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 ₹32,500 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.

How Bengaluru's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bengaluru listings are booked on 53% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹2,295 adds about ₹22,900 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹3,675 a night or more, against a median of ₹2,295. 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 ₹26,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about ₹42,700, against ₹32,400 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bengaluru listings average 4.67 stars, and 24% 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 ₹44,000 a month, against ₹22,100 for the average one.
Occupancy
What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Bengaluru?
Bengaluru listings were booked on 32% of the nights they were open over the past year, 2 percentage points above the Karnataka average (30%) and 4 points above the India average (28%). Counting only the listings booked in each month and averaging each month over two years, occupancy barely moves through the year, from 34% in May to 39% in December.
The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 5.9 times as often as the bottom quarter.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 75%+ of open nights, 45 points above the median.
- Strong performers (top 25%) fill 53% or more, roughly four nights a week.
- Typical properties (median) fill about 30% of open nights.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 13% or less, less than one night a week.

Nightly rates
How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Bengaluru?
The average nightly rate in Bengaluru, known as ADR (average daily rate), was ₹3,591 over the past year, about 8% below the Karnataka average of ₹3,895 and about 37% 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 ₹3,230 and ₹3,510.

- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge ₹6,330+ a night, about 2.8 times the median.
- Strong performers (top 25%) charge ₹3,675 or more, about ₹1,400 above the median.

Monthly average ₹3,670 ₹3,140
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ₹3,370. The 12-month ADR of ₹3,591 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Bengaluru?
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 Bengaluru it averaged ₹1,090 over the past year, from about ₹1,080 in a typical October to about ₹1,380 in a typical July.
A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₹2,290+ per open night, about 3.2 times the median.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹1,310 or more, about ₹600 a night above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₹713 per open night.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₹396 or less, about 56% of the median.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Bengaluru
None of the 3,410 active listings in Bengaluru 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 Bengaluru.

Airbnb Amenities Linked to Higher Revenue in Bengaluru
Listings in Bengaluru with a barbecue grill earned about 2.6 times as much a year, on average, as those without: ₹649,000 against ₹247,000.

Bigger, professionally run homes tend to carry more amenities, so these gaps reflect the kind of listing as much as the feature itself.
