Leave planner 2027 for Singapore: long weekends and bridge days

Enter how many leave days you can take, from 1 to 10, to see the longest break in 2027 and the bridge blocks around Singapore’s 11 public holidays. It works on a Monday-to-Friday week, with a switch for a Monday-to-Saturday week.

Your working week Monday to Friday (Saturday and Sunday off) Monday to Saturday (Sunday off)

Leave days you can take (1 to 10)

Monday 8 February 2027 Count Monday 8 February 2027 as a public holiday for me

MOM’s public holidays page says: “Monday, 8 February 2027, will be a public holiday if your rest day falls on 7 February 2027.” Its press release footnote says: “Monday, 8 Feb 2027, will be a public holiday.” This planner does not decide whether the Monday is a holiday for you, and the box starts unticked. Tick it if you want the Monday counted, for example because your rest day falls on 7 February 2027 (the public holidays page’s condition) or your employer has told you it is a holiday.

MOM’s entitlement and pay page says: “If a public holiday falls on your rest day, the following working day will be a paid public holiday.” and “If you are on a 5-day work week, Saturday would be considered your non-working day and Sunday would be your rest day.”

The 11 public holidays in 2027, as MOM lists them

Friday 1 January 2027: New Year’s Day
Falls on a working day, so it is a day off.
Saturday 6 February 2027: Chinese New Year (first day)
A Saturday, already off in a Monday-to-Friday week. MOM’s entitlement page says another day off or salary in lieu. MOM’s pages do not state which date that day off falls on or who chooses between the two, so the planner does not count it as an extra day off.
Sunday 7 February 2027: Chinese New Year (second day)
A Sunday, already off. See MOM’s wording on Monday 8 February above.
Wednesday 10 March 2027: Hari Raya Puasa
Falls on a working day, so it is a day off.
Friday 26 March 2027: Good Friday
Falls on a working day, so it is a day off.
Saturday 1 May 2027: Labour Day
A Saturday, already off in a Monday-to-Friday week. MOM’s entitlement page says another day off or salary in lieu. MOM’s pages do not state which date that day off falls on or who chooses between the two, so the planner does not count it as an extra day off.
Monday 17 May 2027: Hari Raya Haji
Falls on a working day, so it is a day off.
Thursday 20 May 2027: Vesak Day
Falls on a working day, so it is a day off.
Monday 9 August 2027: National Day
Falls on a working day, so it is a day off.
Thursday 28 October 2027: Deepavali
Falls on a working day, so it is a day off.
Saturday 25 December 2027: Christmas Day
A Saturday, already off in a Monday-to-Friday week. MOM’s entitlement page says another day off or salary in lieu. MOM’s pages do not state which date that day off falls on or who chooses between the two, so the planner does not count it as an extra day off.

Saturday holidays. MOM’s entitlement and pay page says: “In accordance with the Employment Act, if a public holiday falls on a non-working day, you are entitled to another day off or one extra day's salary in lieu of the public holiday at the gross rate of pay.” MOM’s pages do not state on which date a day off in lieu of a Saturday holiday falls, or who chooses between a day off and salary in lieu. The planner therefore counts no extra day off for them.

Assumes a fixed Monday-to-Friday week with the rest day on Sunday, counts only days in 2027, and uses no employer’s rules. Only these two weeks are modelled: 5.5-day weeks, half-day Saturdays, shift patterns, company holidays and the leave your employer allows are not.

How do I stretch my leave around the 2027 public holidays in Singapore?

Take leave on the working days between public holidays and weekends to join them into one break. MOM’s list for 2027 has 11 gazetted public holidays. Our illustration, on a Monday-to-Friday week: Hari Raya Haji is Monday 17 May 2027 and Vesak Day is Thursday 20 May. Leave on 18, 19 and 21 May makes one run from Saturday 15 to Sunday 23 May: 4 weekend days, 2 holidays and 3 leave days, 9 days off in all.

Which dates are the 2027 public holidays?

MOM lists 11 gazetted days. By our count seven fall on a weekday, three on a Saturday (6 February, 1 May and 25 December) and one on a Sunday (7 February). The list with weekdays, as MOM prints it, is above this guide.

Is Monday 8 February 2027 a public holiday?

MOM words this in two ways, and the planner does not decide between them: its checkbox starts unticked, and the Monday counts only if you tick it. MOM’s public holidays page says: “Monday, 8 February 2027, will be a public holiday if your rest day falls on 7 February 2027.” The footnote to the 2027 press release says: “Monday, 8 Feb 2027, will be a public holiday.” The entitlement and pay page says what happens when a holiday falls on a rest day: its wording is beside the checkbox.

Which long weekends does Singapore have in 2027?

By our count a Monday-to-Friday week has four three-day weekends in 2027 with no leave: 1 to 3 January, 26 to 28 March, 15 to 17 May and 7 to 9 August. A fifth, 6 to 8 February, exists only if you count Monday 8 February. For a Saturday holiday in a 5-day week, MOM’s entitlement page says “you should get either a day off or salary in lieu”. MOM’s pages do not state on which date a day off in lieu of a Saturday holiday falls, or who chooses between a day off and salary in lieu. The planner counts no extra day off for Labour Day or Christmas Day, both on a Saturday. On a Monday-to-Saturday week those Saturdays are working days, so each holiday is a day off.

How does the planner count days off in a row?

Days off in a row are weekend days, public holidays and leave days in an unbroken run. The longest break must include a public holiday on a day you would otherwise work. Bridge blocks join two stretches off by taking leave on every working day between them, ranked by days off per leave day (our convention).

What does this calculator not do?

It models only Monday-to-Friday and Monday-to-Saturday weeks, each with Sunday as the rest day: 5.5-day weeks, half-day Saturdays, shift rosters and company holidays are not modelled. It does not know your leave balance or whether leave will be approved, and it does not guess the two points above that MOM’s pages leave unstated. It does not work out pay. It covers 2027 only; for the 2026 year-end weekend see our Christmas 2026 long weekend plan, and for the dates our 2027 public holidays and long weekends page.

Common questions

How many public holidays does Singapore have in 2027?

MOM lists 11, counting Chinese New Year as two days.

What is the longest break 3 leave days can make in 2027?

On a Monday-to-Friday week, Saturday 15 to Sunday 23 May 2027: 9 days off in a row, with leave on 18, 19 and 21 May. Your employer may not approve those dates.

Does Labour Day 2027 give me a weekday off?

Not on a date MOM’s pages name. Labour Day is Saturday 1 May 2027, already a day off on a Monday-to-Friday week, and MOM’s entitlement page says you should get a day off or salary in lieu. MOM’s pages do not state which date or who chooses, so ask your employer.

Can I use the planner if I work on Saturdays?

Yes. Choose Monday to Saturday: Sunday is then the only weekend day, and each Saturday you miss counts as a leave day. Half-day Saturdays and 5.5-day weeks are not modelled.
