Profit
Is an Airbnb in Madampagama Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Madampagama Airbnb took in Rs 6,281,879 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about Rs 398,000 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 714,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the Rs 27,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about Rs 400,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about Rs 346,000 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 Madampagama's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Madampagama listings are booked on 53% or more of their nights, against 29% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of Rs 67,200 adds about Rs 672,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge Rs 92,200 a night or more, against a median of Rs 67,200. 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 625,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about Rs 1,280,000, against Rs 192,000 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Madampagama listings average 4.86 stars, and 44% 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 Rs 930,000 a month, against Rs 523,000 for the average one.
