Extrapolated tax figures for 2014 showed that the average salary of the CEOs of the country’s 200 biggest companies is around ISK 2.6 million (17,580 euro) per month. The two highest-earning CEOs skewed the figure so much that they were taken out before the average was calculated. Financial services workers saw among the highest year-on-year pay increase, with the top-earning 200 financiers increasing their monthly wages from ISK 1.9 million (12,847 euro) to ISK 2.1 million (14,199 euro).
