Profit
Is an Airbnb in Mosfellsbær Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Mosfellsbær Airbnb took in kr 5,582,235 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 321,000 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 585,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 327,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 348,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 277,000 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.

- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 47,900 a night or more, against a median of kr 32,000.
