2024 Public Holidays & Working Days in Finland

Complete 2024 public holidays, weekend rules, working day count, and monthly calendar for Finland.

Finland has 252 working days and 15 public holidays in 2024, with a Saturday – Sunday weekend. Banks and logistics typically suspend during public holidays.

Finland operates on UTC+2 with standard business hours 08:00–16:00 and a saturday – sunday weekend. In 2024, there are 252 standard working days and 15 public holidays, with no makeup workdays scheduled. For cross-border trade and logistics professionals, note that banks suspend clearing, customs clearance pauses, and port operations halt during public holidays — potentially delaying payment settlement by 1–3 business days and increasing container detention fees. When scheduling shipments, letter-of-credit presentations, or international meetings, avoid Finland's non-working days and confirm operating windows around 2024 holidays with local agents in advance.
