The year 2026 is expected to be a busier one for employees in Germany, with an estimated average of 250.5 working days, 2.4 days more than in 2025. This increase is due to the structure of the calendar, which will reduce the number of non-working days during the week, considering that holidays such as German Unity Day and the second day of Christmas will fall on the weekend. Compared to previous years, 2026 will have the most working days in recent years, even surpassing the pre-pandemic period. Statistics show that fluctuations in the number of working days are influenced by legislative changes and the distribution of public holidays.


It is also estimated that an additional working day could contribute to GDP growth by approximately 0.1 percentage points, which has sparked discussions about eliminating some public holidays to support the economy. However, the actual effect of additional working days depends on the period in which they occur, having a smaller impact during periods of reduced economic activity. Thus, while more working days can create favorable conditions for economic recovery, they do not guarantee a significant increase in productivity.
