Calculating working days is crucial for HR professionals, project managers, and lawyers in Denmark, as it affects deadlines for notice periods, project planning, and contract fulfillment. With 10 official public holidays in 2026, you must be aware that these are not working days and should therefore be calculated correctly when determining deadlines.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate a 30 working day deadline from a given date in Denmark?
You must count all weekdays (Monday to Friday) and exclude weekends and official Danish public holidays from the calculation. For example, from 15 January 2026, 30 working days would fall around 27 February 2026, as Ascension Day, Pentecost, and Whit Monday in May must also be counted as non-working days.
Which public holidays in 2026 have the most impact on working day calculations?
Easter (2-6 April) with four public holidays and Pentecost period (14, 24-25 May) with three public holidays are the periods that matter most for working day calculations. These Easter and Pentecost holidays can significantly affect deadlines, particularly for short timeframes of 5-10 working days.
How do I handle EU procurement deadlines of 30 working days under Danish legislation?
EU procurement rules follow the same working day principles as Danish legislation, where weekends and official Danish public holidays are not counted. From 1 September 2026, a 30 working day deadline would fall around 15 October 2026, as Ascension Day does not affect this period.
Can companies in Denmark require payment of invoices within 30 days of issuance?
Under Danish legislation and EU payment term rules, payment terms can normally be set to 30 calendar days. However, you should note that if the last day of the payment deadline falls on a public holiday or weekend, payment is due the next working day according to Danish practice.
How do public holidays affect notice periods in employment relationships?
The notice period is calculated in calendar days according to Danish labor law, not working days, but employers should be aware that if the notice must be given orally or in writing, it should be done on a working day. The 10 public holidays in 2026 do not affect the actual deadline calculation, but can delay practical processes around notice communication.
