Gross bookings per Sørvágur listing averaged kr 144,757 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Vágar region average: kr 160,578), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Sørvágur listing brings in kr 31,400 in July, its best month, and kr 3,870 in February, its slowest. January runs within 4% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 52% 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 twice as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

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.
The typical Sørvágur listing earns about kr 13,400 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The short-term rental calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sørvágur Airbnb took in kr 144,757 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 7,800 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 11,500 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 14,200 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 9,000 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.
