Frequently Asked Questions

How many business days are in April 1998 for Singapore?

The month spans 30 calendar days, of which 8 fall on a weekend and 0 are Singapore gazetted holidays that lands on a weekday. The remaining 22 weekdays are countable as working days for invoicing, deadline tracking, and contract math.
Which Singapore holidays affect April 1998?
April 1998 contains no Singapore gazetted holidays that fall on a weekday. Banks, the central clearing system, and Singapore financial markets keep their normal schedule throughout the month under this calculator's national-only holiday set.
How does Singapore handle holiday observance shifts?
Under the Holidays Act, when a public holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is a public holiday. The Act does not shift Saturday-falling holidays, so when Christmas Day or National Day lands on a Saturday, it is absorbed into the weekend without an in-lieu Monday. This calculator's Singapore data lists the observed Monday for Sunday-falling holidays. The eleven gazetted holidays include New Year's Day, Chinese New Year (two days), Good Friday, Hari Raya Puasa, Labour Day, Vesak Day, Hari Raya Haji, National Day, Deepavali, and Christmas Day.
Why does the Chinese New Year date shift each year?
Chinese New Year is determined by the lunisolar calendar and falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice, typically between January 21 and February 20. The Singapore Ministry of Manpower gazettes two days for the holiday: the first day of the lunar year and the day after. When the second day falls on a Sunday, the following Monday becomes the substitute holiday. Hari Raya Puasa, Hari Raya Haji, Deepavali, and Vesak Day similarly shift by their respective religious calendars.
Why does the business-day count vary year to year?
Two things shift the monthly count for Singapore. First, the day of the week the first of the month lands on changes the count of each weekday. Second, Singapore gazetted holidays anchored to a fixed date shift their weekday across years. Some years a fixed-date holiday lands on a weekend; some countries shift the observance to an adjacent weekday and some absorb it into the weekend. April 1997 also had 22 working days, so working capacity is unchanged year over year.
