Sweden has no statutory substitute days: a public holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday is not moved to a weekday, so the following Monday stays a working day in these counts. Midsummer Eve, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are not public holidays by law, but most workplaces close; they are listed but not counted, so a workplace that closes on them has up to three working days fewer in a year.
Week by week
January 2026 has 31 days: 9 Saturdays and Sundays, 2 holidays on a weekday and 20 working days. The table splits them by calendar week, Monday to Sunday, cut at the start and end of the month.
