Profit
Is an Airbnb in Kanpur Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Kanpur Airbnb took in ₹105,641 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 ₹11,100 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 Kanpur's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kanpur listings are booked on 32% or more of their nights, against 16% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹2,160 adds about ₹21,600 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹2,920 a night or more, against a median of ₹2,160. 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 ₹10,300 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about ₹29,000, against ₹12,000 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Kanpur listings average 4.78 stars, and 50% 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 ₹15,100 a month, against ₹8,800 for the average one.
