How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Chaul?
Gross bookings per Chaul listing averaged ₹501,070 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Maharashtra average: ₹470,521), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Chaul listing brings in ₹171,000 in December, its best month, and ₹60,900 in September, its slowest. April runs within 5% of September, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 39% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Chaul's 25 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₹192,000+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹102,000 or more, roughly ₹48,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₹54,500 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₹22,200 or less, about 41% 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Chaul Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Chaul Airbnb took in ₹501,070 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about ₹936,300, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₹58,100 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 Chaul's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Chaul listings are booked on 25% or more of their nights, against 15% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹7,055 adds about ₹70,500 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹13,300 a night or more, against a median of ₹7,055. 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 ₹48,700 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about ₹171,000, against ₹60,900 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Chaul listings average 4.71 stars, and 20% 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 ₹78,000 a month, against ₹41,800 for the average one.
