Frequently asked questions
How can I calculate 30 working days for an invoicing deadline in Hungary?
When calculating 30 working days, you must exclude all Saturdays, Sundays, and the 13 Hungarian state holidays (such as January 1, March 15, Good Friday, Easter Monday, etc.). In 2026, a 30 working-day period typically spans 6-7 calendar weeks, depending on when you start the count, as several holidays are clustered together.
What is the impact of the 30 working days prescribed in EU public procurement regulations on Hungarian projects?
Under EU Directive 2016/2102 and the Hungarian Public Procurement Act (Act CXLIII of 2015), the 30 working days are typically calculated by excluding weekends and Hungarian state holidays. Therefore, following the publication of a procurement notice in 2026, the deadline for submitting bids falls approximately 6-7 weeks later, depending on the density of holidays in that period.
How do Hungarian holidays affect EU 30 working-day document notification deadlines?
The 30 working days associated with notifications are considered by Hungarian courts and public administration to include only working days, so the 13 Hungarian state holidays (such as May 1, August 20, December 25-26) are automatically excluded. Whit Sunday and Monday (May 24-25 in 2026) may also function as a suspension period, particularly if the document containing the notification is served directly.
What formula can be used to calculate the total number of working days between a project start and deadline in Hungary?
The most accurate method is: total calendar days minus weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) minus the 13 state holidays in 2026. Using a working days calculator website is recommended, as it automatically filters these out, or you can use the WORKDAY function in a spreadsheet with a list of Hungarian holidays.
Does working day counting start or end on the day when the event occurs (for example, contract signature)?
According to Hungarian legal literature and practice, deadline counting begins on the day following the event (for example, if a contract is signed on Monday, counting begins on Tuesday), and the deadline expires at the end of the specified day (at the end of the last working day). If the deadline falls on a holiday, it is postponed to the next working day, as regulated by Section 171 of the Hungarian Civil Code (Act V of 2013).
