How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Madurai?
Gross bookings per Madurai listing averaged ₹347,700 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Tamil Nadu average: ₹383,237), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Madurai listing brings in ₹53,100 in July, its best month, and ₹31,100 in April, its slowest. December runs within 3% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₹99,800+ a month, about 3.3 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹62,200 or more, roughly ₹32,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₹30,100 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₹14,100 or less, about half 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 Madurai Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Madurai Airbnb took in ₹347,700 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 ₹718,400, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₹43,900 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 Madurai's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Madurai listings are booked on 57% or more of their nights, against 34% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹3,135 adds about ₹31,400 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹4,790 a night or more, against a median of ₹3,135. 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 ₹33,800 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about ₹53,100, against ₹31,100 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Madurai listings average 4.65 stars, and 33% 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 ₹59,900 a month, against ₹29,000 for the average one.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Madurai?
The average booked night in Madurai cost ₹3,786 before fees. Half of listings charge between ₹2,095 and ₹4,790, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Madurai?
None of the active Madurai listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Madurai?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Madurai Airbnb grossed ₹347,700 in the 12 months to September 2026, 9% below the Tamil Nadu average of ₹383,237, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about ₹43,900 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
