No Dutch law gives employees a day off on public holidays: collective agreements (cao) and contracts do. These counts follow the usual practice: Good Friday is listed but not counted, Liberation Day (5 May) is counted only in lustrum years such as 2030, when most agreements give the day off, and a holiday on a weekend is not moved.
Week by week
January 2026 has 31 days: 9 Saturdays and Sundays, 1 holiday on a weekday and 21 working days. The table splits them by calendar week, Monday to Sunday, cut at the start and end of the month.
