How to use

Use the Vietnam Business Days Calculator to find the exact number of working days between two dates. Enter your start date and end date. You can choose whether your workweek includes Saturdays or if it's a standard Monday-Friday schedule. The calculator automatically excludes weekends and can account for official Vietnamese public holidays (like Tet, Independence Day). This tool is essential for HR managers planning payroll, project managers setting deadlines, and logistics teams estimating delivery times in Vietnam.

How it's calculated

Business Days

total_days - weekends_in_period - public_holidays

Working days after removing weekends and public holidays

Non-Working Days

weekends_in_period + public_holidays

Total weekends plus public holidays in the period

Examples

30-day month, 8 weekends, 0 holidays → 22 business days

  • Total Calendar Days:30
  • Public Holidays on Weekdays:0
  • Weekend Days (Sat + Sun):8

Result

  • Business Days:21 days

Between August 1st and August 31st on a standard 5-day workweek, there are exactly 21 business days after excluding 10 weekend days.

30-day month, 8 weekends, 2 holidays → 20 business days

  • Total Calendar Days:30
  • Public Holidays on Weekdays:2
  • Weekend Days (Sat + Sun):8

Result

  • Business Days:20
  • Non-Working Days:10

A 30-day month with 8 weekends and 2 public holidays yields 20 business days. For payroll and contractor billing purposes, this is the standard working day count for a typical Vietnamese month — use it to prorate daily rates accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many public holidays does Vietnam have per year?

Vietnam has 11 official public holiday days per year: Tết Nguyên Đán (5 days), Giỗ Tổ Hùng Vương on the 10th day of the 3rd lunar month (1 day), Liberation Day on April 30 (1 day), International Labour Day on May 1 (1 day), and National Day on September 2 (2 days).

What if a public holiday falls on a weekend?

Under Vietnamese labour law, if a public holiday falls on a weekend, employees are entitled to a compensatory day off on the following Monday. In that case, do not count the holiday in the public_holidays input — it is already covered by the weekend count.

How do I count weekend days in a month?

A standard 30-day month typically contains 8 or 9 weekend days (Saturday and Sunday). You can count them manually on a calendar, or use the rule of thumb: multiply the number of full weeks by 2 and add any remaining weekend days.

Does this calculator include lunar holidays like Tet?

Yes, the calculator factors in major official public holidays in Vietnam, including the Lunar New Year (Tet), Hung Kings' Commemoration Day, and Independence Day, deducting them from the total business days.
