Every change and correction to a figure we publish, in the Cost of Iceland Index and the Trip Reality Report: what moved, why, and by how much. Entries are dated and added at the top. The index itself is never quietly amended.
← Back to the indexThe figure was one typical price from a January 2026 news report (mbl.is). It now comes from Bjórlagið (bjorlagid.is), a crowd-maintained price list of downtown bars: the full-price draught of the 38 bars that list one, converted to 400 ml and averaged with the outlying bars weighted less. The plain average (1,474) and the median (1,500) land in the same place. Tag: Verified.
If a figure in the index is wrong, tell us. The correction is published here, dated, with its effect on every figure it touches.
