A working day is a calendar day that is neither a weekend day nor a public holiday, counted with the national weekend of each country: Saturday and Sunday for 226 countries, Friday and Saturday for 18, and another pattern for 2. Holidays that fall on the weekend do not reduce the count unless a substitute day is granted. Only nationwide holidays are counted; regional calendars have their own pages. See the methodology.

Questions about working days in 2024
- Which country has the most working days in 2024?
- Iran with 289 working days, out of 366 calendar days.
- Which country has the fewest working days in 2024?
- Nepal with 236 working days.
- Why do the counts differ so much between countries?
- Three things move the number: how many public holidays a country has, how many of them fall on weekdays in 2024, and which days form the weekend. A holiday on a Saturday costs no working day unless a substitute day is granted, which is why the same country can gain or lose two or three working days from one year to the next.

- 251.0 across the 246 countries and territories, with a median of 251. 2024 has 262 weekdays (Monday to Friday) before any holiday is removed.
