Planning context
With 21 working days, January 2026 gives Belgium-based teams a typical capacity month. The 1 public holiday this month falls on a weekday, directly reducing billable hours and payroll cycles.
For payroll teams, 21 working days translates to the number of daily-rate billing days for contractors, the basis for prorated salary calculations, and the available window for approval workflows before month-end close.
Project managers can use this count to set realistic sprint or milestone targets. Always confirm specific regulated payroll and legal decisions with official sources or a qualified advisor.
