Gross bookings per Flúðir listing averaged kr 5,330,887 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Iceland average: kr 4,950,477), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Flúðir listing brings in kr 1,020,000 in July, its best month, and kr 339,000 in January, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads August by 2%, and January sits just 2% below November, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 41% 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 2.6 times 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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Flúðir Airbnb took in kr 5,330,887 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 302,000 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 506,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 303,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 327,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 260,000 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.
