Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Kanpur?

Gross bookings per Kanpur listing averaged ₹105,641 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Uttar Pradesh average: ₹193,001), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Kanpur listing brings in ₹29,000 in August, its best month, and ₹12,000 in April, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₹45,900+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹22,700 or more, roughly ₹9,500 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ₹13,200 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₹6,450 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.

August earns about 2.4 times what April does

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ₹16,900. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

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.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, ₹2,920. The 12-month ADR of ₹3,147 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Kanpur?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Kanpur it averaged ₹530 over the past year, from about ₹399 in a typical April to about ₹935 in a typical August.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₹950+ per open night, about 2.1 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹633 or more.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about ₹452 per open night.
