- The fullest month is March with 22 working days; the lightest is February 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 11 nationwide holidays falling on weekdays come from the same dataset as the United States public holidays 2026 page, which lists each one with the weekday it lands on — and how United States's holiday system works:
- Federal holidays bind federal offices, banks and the post; no federal law obliges a private employer to close or to pay premium rates, so company holiday lists routinely differ from this one.
- States add their own days — Texas, Massachusetts or Missouri each observe holidays the rest of the country does not. Rows marked regional below are of that kind.
- When a federal holiday falls on a Saturday it is observed on the Friday before, and on Sunday it moves to the Monday after. The observed date is what this page and the calendar print.
