- The fullest month is July with 23 working days; the lightest is February with 20.
- 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 6 nationwide holidays falling on weekdays come from the same dataset as the United Kingdom public holidays 2025 page, which lists each one with the weekday it lands on — and how United Kingdom's holiday system works:
- The United Kingdom calls them bank holidays, and the list differs by nation: England and Wales usually have eight, Scotland nine and Northern Ireland ten, with days such as St Andrew’s Day or Orangemen’s Day appearing in only one of them.
- When a bank holiday falls at a weekend, a substitute weekday is declared — that substitute is the date shown here.
- Extra one-off holidays are proclaimed for royal occasions; those appear in the data for the year they are announced.
