How the working days in August 2028 are counted
No federal holiday falls in August 2028, so every weekday is a working day and the count is simply the number of Mondays to Fridays in the month: 23. With 23 weekdays it is one of the longest working months of 2028.
The rule is the same on every page here: count Monday to Friday, then take off any federal holiday that lands on one of those days. The holiday dates are the ones the US Office of Personnel Management publishes for federal pay and leave. State holidays, religious holidays and company closures are not included, and other countries have different lists entirely, so treat 23 as the federal baseline for August 2028 and adjust it for your own calendar.
August 2028 next to the months around it
August 2028 has 23 working days, three days more than July 2028 (20) and three days more than September 2028 (20). A 31-day month has 21, 22 or 23 weekdays depending on the day it starts on, and a Tuesday start gives this one the full 23, and the lack of a holiday settles the final figure.
August is the second month of the third quarter. Q3 2028 has 63 working days in total: July 20, August 23 and September 20. That is 504 working hours for the quarter at 8 hours a day, out of 2,000 for the whole of 2028.
