How working days in Vietnam are counted in 2036
The 258 working days shown above are the 366 calendar days of 2036, minus the 104 Saturdays and Sundays, minus the 4 public holidays that land on a weekday. Holidays that fall on a Saturday or Sunday are not subtracted, because they do not remove a day anyone would have worked; in 2036 that applies to 0 of Vietnam's public holidays. At a standard eight-hour day, 258 working days works out to roughly 2,064 working hours across the year, before any annual leave is taken.
What counts as a working day in Vietnam
Labour Code 2019 article 105 sets the standard working week at 48 hours over six days, with the State encouraging a 40-hour, five-day week. The standard office and banking week is Monday to Friday with Saturday and Sunday off; manufacturing and retail commonly run Monday to Saturday. Sunday is the statutory weekly rest day under article 111. The Civil Procedure Code article 152 rolls procedural deadlines falling on a non-working day to the next working day. Settlement of dong transactions runs on the State Bank of Vietnam's IBPS (Interbank Payment System), which observes the gazetted holiday list plus PM-extended Tết days.
Vietnam recognises eleven days of public holiday under article 112 of the Labour Code (Law 45/2019/QH14). The list is short by regional standards: New Year's Day, the Lunar New Year (Tết Nguyên Đán) cluster of five days centred on the first day of the first lunar month, Hung Kings Commemoration Day on the 10th day of the third lunar month honouring the legendary founders, Reunification Day on 30 April marking the 1975 fall of Saigon, Labour Day, National Day on 2 September commemorating the 1945 declaration of independence and an additional day adjacent to 2 September (added by 2021 amendment). Tết is by far the most economically significant holiday with nationwide migration to family villages.
This matters because the working-day total is not spread evenly. Some months in Vietnam carry several public holidays while others have none, so the month-by-month table above is the figure to use for payroll runs, billing cycles, SLA windows, and project plans rather than a flat assumption of about 21.5 working days per month. A month with two weekday holidays can have several fewer working days than a clear one, which changes capacity planning and the realistic delivery date for anything scheduled in business days.
