Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Tórshavn?

Gross bookings per Tórshavn listing averaged kr 141,449 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Faroe Islands average: kr 136,284), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Tórshavn listing brings in kr 36,400 in July, its best month, and kr 7,010 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 47% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 2.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn kr 37,300+ a month, about 2.5 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn kr 23,900 or more, roughly kr 8,800 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about kr 15,100 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn kr 8,100 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.

July earns about 5.2 times what January does

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.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Tórshavn?

The average nightly rate in Tórshavn, known as ADR (average daily rate), was kr 1,438 over the past year, about the same as the Faroe Islands average (kr 1,385). In a typical year, rates peak in July at about kr 1,630 and bottom out in November and December at about kr 1,145.

The top 10% charge about 2.5 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge kr 2,340+ a night, about twice the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge kr 1,725 or more, about kr 500 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about kr 1,230 a night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) charge kr 920 or less, about three-quarters of the median.

July rates run 42% above November's

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, kr 1,310. The 12-month ADR of kr 1,438 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Tórshavn?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Tórshavn it averaged kr 702 over the past year, from about kr 226 in a typical January to about kr 1,170 in a typical July.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn kr 1,260+ per open night, about twice the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn kr 897 or more, about kr 270 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about kr 627 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn kr 348 or less, about 55% of the median.

July RevPAR is about 5.2 times January's

Revenue per open night (RevPAR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Tórshavn

None of the 293 active listings in Tórshavn display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Tórshavn.
