Profit
Is an Airbnb in Svalbarðseyri Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Svalbarðseyri Airbnb took in kr 4,580,529 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 258,000 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 383,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 245,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 279,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 222,000 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.
