Profit
Is an Airbnb in Kalabagh Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kalabagh Airbnb took in Rs 1,174,557 in the 12 months to July 2025, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about Rs 2,484,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about Rs 153,000 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.

How Kalabagh's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kalabagh listings are booked on 33% or more of their nights, against 16% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of Rs 24,100 adds about Rs 241,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge Rs 48,700 a night or more, against a median of Rs 24,100. 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 117,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about Rs 391,000, against Rs 139,000 in December, 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 207,000 a month, against Rs 98,000 for the average one.
