About National Day
Singapore's independence anniversary, celebrating separation from Malaysia in 1965.
This page is the 2024-specific edition: it shows the actual weekday, the observed date if a weekend rule applies, and the placement of the holiday inside the Singapore fiscal year that contains it. For the canonical, year-agnostic overview see the main National Day page.
2024 weekday and observance
In 2024, National Day falls on Friday, August 9. Friday holidays produce three-day weekends without affecting the early-week rhythm. Banking value dates for any cleared transaction slip to the following Monday.
No weekend-shift rule applies in 2024 because the holiday falls on a regular weekday. Both the calendar date and the observed date are Friday, August 9, 2024. Treat it as a non-working day in payroll, vendor payment scheduling, and any business-day calculation that drives accruals or settlement.
Where it lands in FY2024
For organisations on the Singapore fiscal calendar, National Day 2024 sits in fiscal month 5 (FM5), inside quarter Q2 of FY2024. From this date, you have approximately 234 days remaining until fiscal year-end on March 31, 2025. That distance matters because year-end close planning typically begins 60 to 90 days out — meaning if FYE is within that window, this holiday already sits inside the close-planning runway and any client-facing or vendor-facing deadlines that touch it should be pre-cleared rather than rescheduled later.

Operational impact for finance teams
For finance and operations teams, National Day 2024 reduces the working-day count for FM5 by one. If the holiday falls within two business days of a fiscal month-end, expect downstream impact on accrual timing (revenue cutoff, inventory counts, AP cutoffs) and on banking value dates. Wire transfers and ACH/Faster Payments typically settle the next business day; international wires may slip two days when both origin and destination observe the holiday. See our guide on mapping holidays to fiscal months for a worked example of folding observance dates into the close calendar.
If your business operates payroll on a biweekly cadence aligned to the OPM federal schedule, check the 2024 pay period schedule for the pay period containing this date — the payday for that period may shift to the preceding business day.
