Icelandic krona (ISK) exchange rate
The ECB publishes the Icelandic krona rate every working day at around 16:00 CET, 17:00 in Latvia, as the number of ISK to one euro. In Latvia this is the rate for bookkeeping and for invoices in ISK.

Iceland is in the European Economic Area but not in the EU. Kronur are the currency for Icelandic clients and suppliers, for example in fisheries and tourism.
The ECB did not quote the Icelandic krona from 10 December 2008 to 31 January 2018, so transactions in that period have no ECB rate.
Which rate goes on an invoice
Latvian bookkeeping uses the euro reference rate published by the European Central Bank. When an invoice or another source document is in a foreign currency, its amounts are converted to euro at the rate in force at the start of the day of the transaction (Accounting Law, Section 7(2) and 7(3)).
The ECB publishes new rates in the afternoon, so at the start of any day the rate in force is the one published on the previous working day. A transaction on Tuesday uses the rate published on Monday, not the one published on Tuesday. The 2013 guidelines for the euro changeover explain it the same way: use the previous day's rate, which is still in force on the day of the transaction.
A VAT invoice may show its amounts in any currency, but the VAT payable must be stated in euro at that same rate. For an advance payment, use the rate in force at the start of the day the advance was received (VAT Law, Section 129(5)).
Weekends and holidays
The ECB does not publish on Saturdays, Sundays or TARGET closing days: 1 January, Good Friday, Easter Monday, 1 May, and 25 and 26 December. The last published rate stays in force.
| Transaction day | Uses the rate published on |
|---|---|
| Monday | the previous Friday |
| Tuesday | Monday |
| Wednesday | Tuesday |
| Thursday | Wednesday |
| Friday | Thursday |
| Saturday | Friday |
| Sunday | Friday |
On Latvian public holidays such as 4 May and 18 November the ECB publishes as usual.
Questions
- What is the Icelandic krona exchange rate today?
- The ECB publishes the Icelandic krona rate every working day at around 17:00 Latvian time. The latest rate, the day it was published and the days it applies to invoices are shown at the top of this page.
- How do I convert ISK to euro?
- Divide the ISK amount by the ECB rate: EUR = ISK / rate. To go from euro to ISK, multiply the euro amount by the rate. Round only the final amount to the cent.
- Which Icelandic krona rate goes on an invoice?
- The one in force at the start of the day of the transaction: the last ISK rate the ECB published before that day (Accounting Law, Section 7(3)). On a VAT invoice the VAT payable is stated in euro at this rate (VAT Law, Section 129(5)). The tool on this page finds it for any date.
- Which Icelandic krona rate applies at weekends?
- The ECB does not publish on Saturdays, Sundays or TARGET closing days. The last published ISK rate stays in force, so transactions on Saturday, Sunday and Monday use the rate published on Friday.
- Why does the ECB ISK rate differ from my bank's?
- The ECB reference rate is one rate a day, published for information. A bank exchanges money at its own buying and selling rates. Bookkeeping and invoices use the ECB rate, and the gap between it and the amount actually paid is an exchange rate difference.
Invoices in foreign currency, with the right rate
Fakts looks up the ECB rate in force at the start of the invoice date and shows the amount in euro on the invoice, so you never copy a rate by hand.
