Across 18 countries, the number of working days in 2027 ranges from 245 in Japan to 256 in Germany and Mexico. Japan and South Korea have the most public holidays (16). Working days are Monday to Friday (Sunday to Thursday in Saudi Arabia) minus nationwide public holidays that fall on a working day.
Each country's nationwide public holidays for 2027 come from the same rules as our working days calculator: fixed dates, Easter-based holidays, "nth weekday" rules, substitute days when a holiday falls on a weekend, and lunar-calendar tables for Eid, Lunar New Year and similar holidays. Regional holidays (for example German states or Spanish regions) are not included, so local working days can be lower.
"Longest break" is the longest run of consecutive days off that includes at least one public holiday, counting the weekend. Click a country for the full list, long weekends and working days per month.
