reiknaður

Reiknaður is the masculine singular past participle form of the Icelandic verb reikna, meaning to calculate or estimate. As an adjective, reiknaður translates roughly to calculated or computed, and it is used to describe values, costs, estimates, or results that have been obtained through calculation. The feminine and neuter forms are reiknuð and reiknað, respectively, with the forms varying to match the gender of the noun they modify.

In Icelandic, reiknaður is commonly used in technical, financial, statistical, and mathematical contexts to indicate that something has been derived by computation rather than observed directly. It often appears in official documents, reports, and research where numerical figures have been produced by calculation. The term can function attributively before a noun, for example in phrases such as reiknaður kostnaður (calculated cost), reiknuð niðurstaða (calculated result), or reiknað meðaltal (calculated average).

The word is closely related to other adjectives formed from the same verb, and its meaning is nuanced by the noun it accompanies. It contrasts with áætlaður, which means estimated, a nuance distinguishing calculated results from those based on estimation or projection. Overall, reiknaður denotes a value or outcome that follows from a calculation process and is widely used across sectors that rely on numerical data.
