    How many working hours are in Iceland in 2026?

    Iceland has 1785.6 working hours in 2026, based on the 36-hour statutory work week (7.2 hours per day × 248 working days). Source: Icelandic Working Environment Act No. 46/1980.

    Which public holidays in Iceland fall in 2026?

    16 public holidays fall in 2026: Nýársdagur (2026-01-01); Skírdagur (2026-04-02); Föstudagurinn langi (2026-04-03); Páskadagur (2026-04-05); Annar í páskum (2026-04-06); Sumardagurinn fyrsti (2026-04-23) 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.
