Profit
Is an Airbnb in Búðardalur Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Búðardalur Airbnb took in kr 4,265,779 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 244,000 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 726,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 192,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 260,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 210,000 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 Búðardalur's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Búðardalur listings are booked on 55% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of kr 28,400 adds about kr 284,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 40,800 a night or more, against a median of kr 28,400.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about kr 748,000, against kr 254,000 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
