- The fullest month is July with 23 working days; the lightest is April with 18.
- Counts use nationwide holidays only — regional ones (a state day in the US, a cantonal day in Switzerland) reduce the total further where they apply.
- Weekends are Saturday and Sunday. Half-day customs — a Christmas Eve afternoon, a Bayram eve — are not subtracted.
Which holidays are subtracted
The 13 nationwide holidays falling on weekdays come from the same dataset as the Iceland public holidays 2026 page, which lists each one with the weekday it lands on — and how Iceland's holiday system works:
- Iceland keeps holidays nobody else has: the First Day of Summer, a Thursday in late April from the Old Icelandic calendar, and Commerce Day on the first Monday of August.
- The Christian calendar contributes Maundy Thursday through Whit Monday, so spring is dense with days off.
- There is no general substitution for weekend holidays.
