Gross bookings per Bø listing averaged kr 142,884 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Nordland average: kr 239,009), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Bø listing brings in kr 37,500 in July, its best month, and kr 9,080 in November, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 43% 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 3.9 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 Bø Airbnb took in kr 142,884 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 7,800 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 14,100 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 14,200 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 8,900 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 6,700 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.
