About National Day
Singapore's independence anniversary, celebrating separation from Malaysia in 1965.
This page is the 2025-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.
2025 weekday and observance
In 2025, National Day falls on Saturday, August 9. Falling on a Saturday, the official observance shifts under most national rules. Federal banking holidays observed on Saturday typically move to the preceding Friday in the United States and Canada, or the following Monday in the United Kingdom and most Commonwealth countries.
Where it lands in FY2025
For organisations on the Singapore fiscal calendar, National Day 2025 sits in fiscal month 5 (FM5), inside quarter Q2 of FY2025. From this date, you have approximately 234 days remaining until fiscal year-end on March 31, 2026. 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 2025 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 2025 pay period schedule for the pay period containing this date — the payday for that period may shift to the preceding business day.
