Profit
Is an Airbnb in Tórshavn Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Tórshavn Airbnb took in kr 141,449 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 7,700 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 12,300 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 13,600 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 8,900 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 6,700 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 Tórshavn's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Tórshavn listings are booked on 55% or more of their nights, against 40% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of kr 1,230 adds about kr 12,300 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 1,725 a night or more, against a median of kr 1,230. 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 kr 12,800 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about kr 36,400, against kr 7,010 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Tórshavn listings average 4.80 stars, and 43% 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 kr 18,600 a month, against kr 11,800 for the average one.
