How many normal work days are typically in a year?

The typical number of normal work days in a year is approximately 260. This figure is calculated based on the assumption that there are 52 weeks in a year, with 5 work days each week, which totals 260 work days (52 weeks x 5 days).

This calculation also considers federal holidays and weekends. In many situations, when federal holidays are taken into account, the actual number of work days may be slightly less than 260. However, if one is asked for an estimate of the total work days without accounting for holidays, 260 is generally acknowledged as the standard figure for a full-time work schedule.

In professional contexts, such as those relevant to the IAAO Managers Practice Test, understanding the typical number of work days is essential for planning, budgeting, and reporting purposes in various industries.
