Profit
Is an Airbnb in Barrian Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Barrian Airbnb took in Rs 3,880,564 in the 12 months to April 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about Rs 236,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about Rs 561,000 a month.
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 Barrian's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Barrian listings are booked on 34% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of Rs 34,200 adds about Rs 342,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge Rs 58,100 a night or more, against a median of Rs 34,200. 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 Rs 388,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. June brought the average listing about Rs 1,210,000, against Rs 148,000 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 Rs 759,000 a month, against Rs 323,000 for the average one.
