Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Lucknow?
Gross bookings per Lucknow listing averaged ₹208,274 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 Lucknow listing brings in ₹46,900 in November, its best month, and ₹26,600 in August, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: November leads February by 2%, and August sits just 1% below May, so either pair can swap places in a given year. 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 4.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn ₹75,500+ a month, about 4.1 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn ₹42,000 or more, roughly ₹24,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about ₹18,400 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn ₹8,480 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.

Lucknow Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
November 2025 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

The typical Lucknow listing earns about ₹18,400 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb revenue calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Lucknow Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Lucknow Airbnb took in ₹208,274 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 ₹29,600 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 Lucknow's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Lucknow listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₹2,785 adds about ₹27,800 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₹4,035 a night or more, against a median of ₹2,785. 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 ₹20,400 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, November brings the average listing about ₹46,900, against ₹26,600 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Lucknow listings average 4.76 stars, and 40% 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 ₹39,700 a month, against ₹17,400 for the average one.
