There are 248 working days in Iceland in 2024. That's calculated from 366 calendar days minus 104 weekend days and 14 public holidays that fall on a weekday. The remaining 2 public holidays land on weekends and don't reduce the working-day count.
Iceland has 1785.6 working hours in 2024, based on the 36-hour statutory work week (7.2 hours per day × 248 working days). Source: Icelandic Working Environment Act No. 46/1980.
16 public holidays fall in 2024: Nýársdagur (2024-01-01); Skírdagur (2024-03-28); Föstudagurinn langi (2024-03-29); Páskadagur (2024-03-31); Annar í páskum (2024-04-01); Sumardagurinn fyrsti (2024-04-18) and 10 more.
No — only nationwide public and bank holidays defined by Icelandic Working Environment Act No. 46/1980 are subtracted. Regional, observance, and optional holidays vary by state or canton and aren't included so the headline figure stays consistent for nationwide payroll, billing, and capacity-planning use.
