In a typical year, the average Mararikulam listing brings in ₹62,300 in December, its best month, and ₹13,000 in August, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 40% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Mararikulam Airbnb took in ₹219,123 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 ₹32,700 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.
