Gross bookings per Vilpatti listing averaged ₹674,038 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 Vilpatti listing brings in ₹121,000 in May, its best month, and ₹53,600 in February, its slowest. December runs within 5% of May, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 four times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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
Yes, when it's run well. The average Vilpatti Airbnb took in ₹674,038 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 ₹1,310,100, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₹80,500 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.
