How to read the working-hour totals
Both years are partial and include only January 1, April 30, May 1 and September 2. Five Tet holiday days, the Hung Kings festival and the second National Day date are excluded. Public-sector bridge days and swapped working Saturdays are not modeled. This avoids presenting one employer’s extended break as a nationwide private-sector calendar.
Count the selected working weekdays, subtract the included holidays that fall on those days, then multiply the remaining days by daily hours. Each holiday date is counted once. A holiday on a day you already exclude does not reduce the total again. Legal reductions and official substitute days follow their own rules.

Are the 2027 holiday dates in Vietnam confirmed?
Not all of them yet. The 2027 calendar in Vietnam includes only the dates confirmed so far, so the totals may change when the remaining dates are announced. The scope statement on this page lists what is included.
A planning total is not a universal legal annual requirement. Contracts, collective agreements, regions, sectors and actual working schedules can change the result. Record personal leave and company closures separately, and check the country’s working-time rules before using a calendar for payroll.
Which months have the most and least working hours in 2027?
The 2027 calendar for Vietnam has a highest monthly total of 184 hours (March, December). The lowest is 160 hours (January, February). The difference is 24 hours per full-time person before leave, absences and company closures.
Compare delivery commitments by available hours, not by the number of months. Two equally priced monthly retainers can require different staffing when one month has fewer working days. Keep the calendar assumptions fixed, then adjust for each person’s schedule and approved leave before promising project capacity.
From October’s hours to a realistic project budget
Illustrative example for October 2027: start with 168 hours, reserve 16 hours for two scheduled days of approved leave and 24 hours for internal work. That leaves 128 hours for project allocation. It is a planning budget, not a promise that every remaining hour is billable or a record of hours actually worked.
Before the month begins, assign capacity to projects. During the month, keep actual project hours separately. At close, compare planned capacity with recorded work and approved absences; explain the differences before preparing client reports. A national calendar cannot replace either the employee’s schedule or the project record.
