Reading these figures

The working day count treats Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, which is the standard working week in Northern Mariana Islands. 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.

1 of this year's public holidays fall on a weekend and therefore adds no time away from work: Independence Day (4 Jul). 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 November at 18. That spread of 5 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 60 working days across January, February, March.

Compared with 2025, which held 246 working days, 2026 is 1 working day longer. Where a target is carried over from one year to the next unchanged, that difference is absorbed silently unless someone accounts for it.

Against the 204 countries covered here for 2026, Northern Mariana Islands's 15 nationwide holidays put it above the median of 12, around the 82nd percentile. The range across all countries this year runs from 3 to 49.

The holidays produce 4 breaks of three consecutive non-working days or more. The longest runs 3 days, from 3 April 2026 to 5 April 2026, built around Good Friday. A further 8 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.

1 of this year's holidays sits on a different calendar date than in 2025: Good Friday. Dates that move cannot be carried forward from last year's planning spreadsheet, which is the most common way a holiday is missed.
