How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Vágur?
Gross bookings per Vágur listing averaged kr 65,254 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Faroe Islands average: kr 145,133), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Vágur listing brings in kr 16,300 in June, its best month, and kr 2,510 in November, its slowest.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn kr 3,060 or less, about half of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Vágur Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Vágur Airbnb took in kr 65,254 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 3,330 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 5,280 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 9,140 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 4,090 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 2,860 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 Vágur's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Vágur listings are booked on 27% or more of their nights, against 16% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of kr 1,175 adds about kr 11,700 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 1,355 a night or more, against a median of kr 1,175. 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 5,610 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, June brings the average listing about kr 16,300, against kr 2,510 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Vágur listings average 4.66 stars, and 14% 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 8,550 a month, against kr 5,440 for the average one.
