Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
The 2026 table for Madrid lists 12 dates: 10 fall on a weekday and 2 on a weekend. That leaves 251 working days in 2026. Like the Spain calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.
How Madrid differs from the Spain calculator
Madrid adds the Fiesta de la Comunidad de Madrid on 2 May, which falls on a Saturday in 2026, and observes Jueves Santo (Maundy Thursday) on 2 April alongside Viernes Santo (the BOE table marks both as a Fiesta Nacional). Todos los Santos (1 November) and the Día de la Constitución (6 December) fall on a Sunday in 2026, and the BOE table lists the following Mondays, 2 November and 7 December, as holidays in Madrid. Jueves Santo and those two Mondays are the holidays on days from Monday to Friday that this site's Spain calculator set does not contain, so a business-day count that spans them ends later than the Spain calculator's count. Under art. 46 of Real Decreto 2001/1983, which the BOE resolution recites, up to two more days a year are local fiestas in each municipality, published in the bulletin of the Comunidad Autónoma or of the province; they are not in this count.
