Profit
Is an Airbnb in Gävle kommun Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Gävle kommun Airbnb took in kr 83,792 in the 12 months to May 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about kr 151,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 8,130 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 Gävle kommun's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Gävle kommun listings are booked on 34% or more of their nights, against 23% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of kr 1,365 adds about kr 13,700 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge kr 1,695 a night or more, against a median of kr 1,365. 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 7,220 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about kr 26,400, against kr 6,690 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Gävle kommun listings average 4.85 stars, and 43% 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 12,580 a month, against kr 6,980 for the average one.
