How the totals are calculated
We count unique dates marked as nationwide public holidays in the Nager.Date dataset. Regional or county-specific holidays are excluded, and two holidays on the same date count once.
Planning Note
Counts are not leave entitlements
Totals can include observed or substitute dates and do not determine paid leave. Local employment law, sector rules and official announcements remain authoritative.
Review the source datasetFAQ
Understanding country holiday counts
What does the public holiday count include?
Each total is the number of distinct nationwide public holiday dates in the source dataset. Regional holidays are excluded.
Does the count equal paid days off?
No. Paid leave, employee eligibility, substitute days and government-office closures depend on local law and employment rules.
Why can totals differ between websites?
Other comparisons may include regional dates, observances, bank closures or every day in a multi-day break. This table uses one nationwide-date method for all covered places.
