Business Days in 2025 by Country

In 2025, the number of business days across these twelve economies runs from 243 (China) to 254 (Saudi Arabia), a spread of 11 days. The gap follows one thing above all: how many public holidays fall on a working day. Weekend length barely moves it, because every country here loses 104 to 106 days a year to its weekend, whichever two days that weekend is.

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Israel, and Egypt run a Friday-Saturday weekend rather than Saturday-Sunday. A holiday that lands on a Friday is absorbed into the weekend there, while a holiday on a Sunday, an ordinary workday, still counts. That shifts which dates are off, and it is why two countries with the same holiday count can still differ by a day.

These are national counts. States, provinces, and cantons add their own days on top, lowering the figure locally. See each country's weekend rule and holiday set in the country directory.

Working Days in 2025 - FAQ

How many working days are there in 2025?
There are 250 working days in 2025 in the United States, based on 11 federal holidays falling on weekdays and 104 weekend days. The count varies by country; select a different country tab above to see working day totals for the UK, Canada, Australia, India, and the Philippines.
How is the number of working days calculated?
Working days are Monday through Friday, minus federal public holidays. When a holiday falls on Saturday, the preceding Friday is observed. When it falls on Sunday, the following Monday is observed. Our calculator applies these official observance rules automatically for each supported country.
Do all US states have the same number of working days?
The 250 figure applies to federal holidays only. Individual states may observe additional state or regional holidays, which would reduce the working day count for workers in those states. Massachusetts and Maine close for Patriots' Day on the third Monday of April, for instance, and California adds Cesar Chavez Day on March 31.
How many working days are in each quarter of 2025?
Based on US federal holidays: Q1 (Jan–Mar) has 61 working days, Q2 (Apr–Jun) has 63, Q3 (Jul–Sep) has 64, and Q4 (Oct–Dec) has 62. Total: 250 working days in 2025.
How does 2025 compare to other years for working days?
2025 has 250 working days (US). 2024 had 251 working days. 2026 has 250 working days. The count varies between 249–251 depending on how federal holidays fall on the calendar each year. Leap years like 2028 gain one extra calendar day, which may add one extra working day.
