How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Tambaram?
Gross bookings per Tambaram listing averaged ₹190,431 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 Tambaram listing brings in ₹25,700 in June, its best month, and ₹18,300 in September, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: June leads August by 2%, and September sits just 2% below November, so either pair can swap places in a given year.

Across Tambaram's 27 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Tambaram Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Tambaram Airbnb took in ₹190,431 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 ₹20,700 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.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, June brings the average listing about ₹25,700, against ₹18,300 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Tambaram listings average 4.73 stars, and 19% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
