There are 247 working days in Iceland in 2025. That's calculated from 365 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 1778.4 working hours in 2025, based on the 36-hour statutory work week (7.2 hours per day × 247 working days). Source: Icelandic Working Environment Act No. 46/1980.
16 public holidays fall in 2025: Nýársdagur (2025-01-01); Skírdagur (2025-04-17); Föstudagurinn langi (2025-04-18); Páskadagur (2025-04-20); Annar í páskum (2025-04-21); Sumardagurinn fyrsti (2025-04-24) 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.
