Profit
Is an Airbnb in Laugar Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Laugar Airbnb took in kr 4,289,131 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 257,000 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 322,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 92,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 264,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 222,000 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 Laugar's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Laugar listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 49% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of kr 27,400 adds about kr 274,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 45,300 a night or more, against a median of kr 27,400.
