Overstaying in Iceland: fine, entry ban and enforcement
This is what Iceland's own national law adds on top of the EU-wide entry-ban mechanism — every Schengen country runs that same baseline process, explained on the general overstay-penalties page, but the fine amount and exact enforcement style are set by each country individually.
Fine
No specific monetary figure was found for Iceland in this pass
Entry ban

How it's enforced in practice
Sourced from island.is (Iceland's official government services portal) and the Directorate of Immigration's (Útlendingastofnun) own site structure; the specific page on deportation and re-entry bans was confirmed to exist but not fetched for full text this pass.
This is informational only, not legal advice — consult a qualified adviser if you're facing an actual return decision or entry ban.
