- The fullest month is March with 23 working days; the lightest is April with 17.
- Counts use nationwide holidays only — regional ones (a state day in the US, a cantonal day in Switzerland) reduce the total further where they apply.
- Weekends are Saturday and Sunday. Half-day customs — a Christmas Eve afternoon, a Bayram eve — are not subtracted.
Which holidays are subtracted
The 7 nationwide holidays falling on weekdays come from the same dataset as the Australia public holidays 2028 page, which lists each one with the weekday it lands on — and how Australia's holiday system works:
- Australia runs holidays mostly at state and territory level: beyond a national core, each state proclaims its own — from Melbourne Cup Day in Victoria to Picnic Day in the Northern Territory.
- The same holiday can fall on different dates in different states — both Labour Day and the King’s Birthday move around the country.
- Substitute days are common when a holiday lands at a weekend; the proclaimed observed date is what appears here.
