Reading these figures
The working day count treats Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, which is the standard working week in Vietnam. 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.
The longest working month is July at 23 days; the shortest is November 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 63 working days across January, February, March.
Against the 204 countries covered here for 2025, Vietnam's 4 nationwide holidays put it below the median of 12, around the 2nd percentile. The range across all countries this year runs from 3 to 48.
