How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Selfoss?
Gross bookings per Selfoss listing averaged kr 6,095,311 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 Selfoss listing brings in kr 1,160,000 in July, its best month, and kr 485,000 in January, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads August by 1%, and January sits just 3% below April, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 38% 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 3.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn kr 1,390,000+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn kr 965,000 or more, roughly kr 380,000 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about kr 584,000 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn kr 305,000 or less, about half of the median.
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
Is an Airbnb in Selfoss Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Selfoss Airbnb took in kr 6,095,311 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 345,000 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 575,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 386,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 377,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 297,000 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.

How Selfoss's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Selfoss listings are booked on 72% or more of their nights, against 52% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of kr 36,000 adds about kr 360,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 50,700 a night or more, against a median of kr 36,000. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about kr 571,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about kr 1,160,000, against kr 485,000 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Selfoss listings average 4.84 stars, and 58% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about kr 839,000 a month, against kr 508,000 for the average one.
