Netherlands has 254 working days in 2027: the year's 261 weekdays, minus the 7 nationwide public holidays that land on one. The month-by-month table below is computed from the same holiday data the calendar maker prints.

- The fullest month is December with 23 working days; the lightest is May with 18.
- 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 Netherlands public holidays 2027 page, which lists each one with the weekday it lands on — and how Netherlands's holiday system works:
- King's Day is 27 April — unless that is a Sunday, when it moves to Saturday the 26th. The data shows the observed date.
- Liberation Day, 5 May, is official every year but a guaranteed day off only every five years for most workers; in between it depends on the collective agreement.
- Good Friday appears on Dutch calendars and schools close, but for most employees it is not a statutory day off — check your agreement before planning around it.
