Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Egilsstaðir Airbnb took in kr 4,535,318 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 270,000 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 402,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 121,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 280,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 233,000 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.
