Questions
How many public holidays does Chile have in 2026?
Chile has 16 nationwide public holidays in 2026; the next one is Reformation Day on 31 October 2026.
How many working days are there in Chile in 2026?
251 working days, counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend and excluding the 16 national public holidays.
Do public holidays count as demurrage free days in Chile?
Usually yes — most carriers count free time in calendar days, including weekends and holidays. If your tariff or contract says working days, holidays and weekends are excluded and the last free day moves later. The Shyppy demurrage calculator can count either way.
