Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Argir Airbnb took in kr 107,058 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 6,000 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 kr 10,900 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 9,900 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 6,800 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 5,200 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.
