Working days in New Zealand, 2028
Every weekday of 2028 minus the nationwide public holidays that land on one. Holidays falling on a Saturday or Sunday are not counted, because in most countries they are simply lost.

How we count this
We start with every Monday-to-Friday date in 2028 and subtract each nationwide public holiday in New Zealand that lands on one of those days. Saturdays and Sundays are never counted as working days.
No nationwide holiday falls on a weekend this year, so every one of them reduces the total.
We don't subtract the 12 regional or local holidays, bank-only days or company shutdowns, because they don't apply to the whole country. March has the most working days (23) and April the fewest (17).
Regional holidays are excluded — they only apply in some areas. Check the 2028 calendar for those.
