Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: October 8, 2026

The 2028 table for Vaud lists 9 dates: 7 fall on a weekday and 2 on a weekend. That leaves 253 working days in 2028. Like the Switzerland calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.

How Vaud differs from the Switzerland calculator

Vaud's rows change this site's eight-day Swiss baseline in three places. They add the Lendemain du Nouvel An on 2 January and the Lundi du Jeûne fédéral, which falls on 21 September 2026, 20 September 2027 and 18 September 2028. They drop 26 December, so Saint-Étienne is not counted in Vaud. Easter Monday and Whit Monday stay in the count. So a Vaud count adds the January and September closures and leaves out 26 December.
