Sweden has 251 working days in 2026: the year's 261 weekdays, minus the 10 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 July with 23 working days; the lightest is May with 19.
- 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 10 nationwide holidays falling on weekdays come from the same dataset as the Sweden public holidays 2026 page, which lists each one with the weekday it lands on — and how Sweden's holiday system works:
- Sweden has no substitution rule — a holiday falling at a weekend is simply lost that year.
- Midsummer Eve, Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve are not statutory holidays, yet virtually the whole country treats them as full days off; Midsummer Eve in particular is the year’s biggest celebration.
- The klämdag — a working day squeezed between a holiday and a weekend — is Sweden’s institutional bridge day, and the long-weekend table below shows where they arise.
