Profit
Is an Airbnb in Egilsstaðir Profitable?
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.

- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Egilsstaðir listings are booked on 64% or more of their nights, against 49% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of kr 29,000 adds about kr 290,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 36,900 a night or more, against a median of kr 29,000.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about kr 947,000, against kr 215,000 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
