Health Minister Tops Iceland MP Income List

Icelandic Health Minister Alma Möller topped the income list for sitting ministers and members of parliament in 2025, earning an average of 4,359,000 ISK per month. This figure significantly surpasses that of Prime Minister Kristrún Frostadóttir, who reported 2,901,000 ISK in monthly earnings.

The data comes from calculations by Frjáls Verslun's income publication, which surveyed the earnings of 5,570 Icelanders. The publication clarifies that these figures represent taxable income for 2025 and may not solely reflect fixed salaries. Differences can arise from income derived from committee memberships, additional work, or benefits from stock option agreements.

Other notable incomes include Daði Már Kristófersson, Minister of Finance and Economic Affairs, whose earnings are not detailed in the provided list. Among the listed ministers and party leaders, Logi Einarsson, Minister of Culture, Innovation & Higher Education, earned 2,605,000 ISK, and Ragnar Þór Ingólfsson, Minister of Social Affairs and Housing, earned 2,525,000 ISK.

It is important to note that the reported incomes do not include capital gains from sources like interest, dividends, or stock sales. Additionally, the figures might incorporate one-time payments from private pension savings withdrawals. The data is based on the tax assessment roll for income subject to municipal taxes.
