How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Kärdla?
Gross bookings per Kärdla listing averaged €4,851 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Estonia average: €10,505), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Kärdla listing brings in €1,350 in July, its best month, and €405 in April, its slowest. November runs within 4% of April, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 40% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Kärdla's 22 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn €1,400+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn €1,010 or more, roughly €430 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about €581 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn €279 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Kärdla Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Kärdla Airbnb took in €4,851 in the 12 months to October 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about €8,470, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €530 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 Kärdla's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Kärdla listings are booked on 32% or more of their nights, against 17% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €100 adds about €1,010 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €130 a night or more, against a median of €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 €470 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about €1,350, against €405 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Kärdla listings average 4.90 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 €710 a month, against €400 for the average one.
