What the numbers say about Vietnam in 2026
The count uses Saturday and Sunday as the weekly rest days, the standard pattern in Vietnam. Only holidays that apply across the whole country are deducted. Someone working in a region with its own extra days will have a little more time off than these figures show.
July is the longest working month with 23 days, and May the shortest with 20. A gap of 3 days is enough to make a fixed monthly target noticeably harder in some months than in others. Across quarters, Q1 is the leanest at 63 working days (January, February, March).
Among the 204 countries we track for 2026, the median number of national holidays is 12. With 4, Vietnam sits below the middle of the range, around the 2nd percentile (the lowest count this year is 3, the highest 49).
Holidays create 1 stretch of three or more days off in a row. The longest lasts 4 days, from 30 April to 3 May (Reunification Day, Labour Day). There is also one bridge day: a single working day squeezed between a holiday and the weekend, where one day of leave turns into four or more days away. See every long weekend in 2026.
