What this value means
17 statutory national holiday DAYS across 16 occasions (Idulfitri spans two days, 21-22 March 2026) — the '17 hari libur nasional dan 8 cuti bersama' count is stated explicitly by Kemenag and Kemenko PMK. Day-of-week check against the SKB: 1 Jan Thu, 16 Jan Fri, 17 Feb Tue, 19 Mar Thu, 21-22 Mar Sat-Sun, 3 Apr Fri, 5 Apr Sun, 1 May Fri, 14 May Thu, 27 May Wed, 31 May Sun, 1 Jun Mon, 16 Jun Tue, 17 Aug Mon, 25 Aug Tue, 25 Dec Fri. NO SUBSTITUTION RULE: Indonesia does NOT shift a public holiday that falls on a weekend to the following working day — there is no 'observed' or 'mondayisation' mechanism. Accordingly, the following 2026 holidays fall on non-working days and are simply lost: Idulfitri day 1 (Sat 21 Mar), Idulfitri day 2 (Sun 22 Mar), Easter (Sun 5 Apr) and Waisak (Sun 31 May). DELIBERATE EXCLUSION — CUTI BERSAMA: the same SKB additionally designates 8 'cuti bersama' (collective/joint leave) days, which are NOT included in the array above because they are legally distinct. Cuti bersama is mandatory for civil servants (ASN) and DEDUCTS from their annual leave entitlement; for private-sector employers it is discretionary. The 8 cuti bersama days for 2026 are: 16 Feb (Imlek), 18 Mar (Nyepi), 20 Mar / 23 Mar / 24 Mar (Idulfitri, bracketing the two statutory days into a long break), 15 May (Ascension), 28 May (Iduladha), 24 Dec (Christmas Eve). Consumers modelling actual office closures in Indonesia will usually want statutory + cuti bersama = 25 days; consumers modelling legal entitlement want the 17 above. BASIS AND VOLATILITY: Islamic dates (Isra Mikraj, Idulfitri, Iduladha, Islamic New Year, Maulid) are Hijri and were fixed administratively in advance by the SKB; the Ministry of Religious Affairs' sighting (rukyat/isbat) can in principle shift Idulfitri and Iduladha by one day, and the SKB has historically been amended mid-year to reconcile — re-verify before relying on Q4 2026 dates. Nyepi (19 Mar) is Balinese Saka; Waisak is Buddhist. ACCESS QUIRK: the authoritative signed SKB PDF hosted at kemenkopmk.go.id is a SCANNED IMAGE with no text layer (~1MB) and cannot be machine-read without OCR; the Sekretariat Negara page at setneg.go.id/baca/index/inilah_skb_3_menteri_libur_nasional_dan_cuti_bersama_2026 and the Kemenag release reproduce the identical list as extractable text and were used as readable official mirrors. Provincial and religious local holidays (e.g. Bali's Galungan/Kuningan, Aceh's Islamic observances) are additional and not covered.
