            Costa Rica public holidays 2026 and pay calculator

            View Costa Rica’s official 2026 holidays and estimate holiday-day pay by salary arrangement.

            The calendar distinguishes mandatory-pay and non-mandatory-pay holidays. The 2026 dates are not moved to another day.

            Payment depends on whether salary is monthly, biweekly or weekly and whether the workplace is a commercial activity.

            Before using the result

            What to keep in mind

            • The estimate shows total pay attributable to the holiday; for monthly or biweekly workers, one ordinary day is already included in salary.
            • Special schedules, overtime and collective agreements may change the result.
