21 business days
April 2026 has 30 calendar days in United Kingdom. Of these, 21 are business days — Monday to Friday that are not national public holidays — while 8 are weekend days and 1 national public holiday date fall on a weekday and are deducted.
The deducted day is: Good Friday (03 Apr). If days observed only in part of the country, or only in particular sectors, are also excluded, the count falls to 20.

21 business days × 8 hours = 168 working hours in April 2026, before any leave, and assuming a standard 8-hour day (40-hour week). On a 7.5-hour day the total is 157 hours; on a 7-hour day, 147 hours. Weekends and the national public holidays listed above are not worked, so they add no hours.

Start with every date in April 2026, keep the Mondays to Fridays, then remove the dates marked “Yes” in the holiday table above. The number you get is the one shown at the top of this page: 21. Dates marked “Regional or sector-specific only” are observed in part of United Kingdom or in certain industries, so they are listed for reference but not deducted.
