Reading these figures

The working day count treats Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, which is the standard working week in Lithuania. Only nationwide holidays are deducted; a date observed in one region alone still counts as a working day here, because a national figure that moved with regional calendars would describe nobody accurately.

5 of this year's public holidays fall on a weekend and therefore add no time away from work: The Day of Restoration of the State of Lithuania (16 Feb), Easter Sunday (20 Apr), Statehood Day (6 Jul), All Saints' Day (1 Nov), All Souls' Day (2 Nov). Whether these are compensated with a substitute day depends on national rules rather than on the calendar, so confirm before planning around them.

The longest working month is July at 23 days; the shortest is December at 20. That spread of 3 days matters for anything billed or accrued monthly, which is why payroll and capacity plans that assume an even year drift by the end of it. The thinnest quarter is Q1, carrying 62 working days across January, February, March.

Against the 204 countries covered here for 2025, Lithuania's 14 nationwide holidays put it above the median of 12, around the 75th percentile. The range across all countries this year runs from 3 to 48.

The holidays produce 3 breaks of three consecutive non-working days or more. The longest runs 5 days, from 24 December 2025 to 28 December 2025, built around Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and St. Stephen's Day. A further 3 working days are stranded between a holiday and a weekend, where one day of leave buys a break of four days or more. The full breakdown is here.
