Nationwide public holidays only, from date-holidays. Regional and observance days are excluded so the countries stay comparable.
Free, no account needed — each one uses the working days you just looked up.
It depends on the country, because public holidays differ. In 2026 the count ranges from 242 working days (Colombia, Japan) to 257 (Saudi Arabia). The most common figure across the 50 countries below is 251 working days, which applies in 9 of them.
Weekends are the same everywhere, so the difference is public holidays that fall on a weekday. A country with three weekday holidays in 2026 has three fewer working days than one with none, even though both have the same number of calendar days.
Working hours depend on each country's statutory week as well as its holidays — a 35-hour week and a 40-hour week produce very different totals from the same number of working days. Open your country's page below for the hour figure calculated from its own statutory standard.
No. Only nationwide public and bank holidays are subtracted, so the figures stay consistent for payroll, billing and capacity planning. Regional holidays vary by state, province or canton and would make the numbers impossible to compare across countries.
