Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Hafnarfjörður Airbnb took in kr 2,964,949 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 172,000 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 266,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 159,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 185,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 149,000 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.
