The average Kota listing brought in ₹141,000 in June, its best month, and ₹9,280 in December, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 48% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Kota's 18 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:

- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹55,100 or more, roughly ₹20,000 a month above the median.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₹18,600 or less, about half of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Kota Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Kota Airbnb took in ₹288,225 in the 12 months to April 2025, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about ₹27,900 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 Kota's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kota listings are booked on 42% or more of their nights, against 32% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹1,660 adds about ₹16,600 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹2,410 a night or more, against a median of ₹1,660. 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 ₹28,800 a year.
- Open for the busy months. June brought the average listing about ₹141,000, against ₹9,280 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 ₹38,000 a month, against ₹24,000 for the average one.
