Indonesia National Holidays 2026 and 2027: Public Holidays and Cuti Bersama

What are the public holidays in Indonesia in 2026?

The 2026 calendar has 17 public holidays under joint decree No. 1497, No. 2 and No. 5 of 2025, signed on 19 September 2025, as published by Kemenko PMK and the State Secretariat.

Islamic holiday dates are confirmed by the Minister of Religious Affairs after the isbat (moon-sighting) session.

Which days are cuti bersama in 2026?

The 2026 decree sets 8 collective leave days attached to existing holidays.

With weekends, this produced a seven-day break from 18 to 24 March and four-day breaks around Chinese New Year, Ascension Day and Christmas (24–27 December).

What are the public holidays in Indonesia in 2027?

The 2027 calendar has 18 public holidays under joint decree No. 1205, No. 3 and No. 2 of 2026, signed on 15 September 2026; Isra Mi'raj falls twice.

The 2027 cuti bersama days, per the State Secretariat announcement, are 5 February (Chinese New Year), 9, 12 and 15 March (Eid al-Fitr), 25 March (Good Friday), 18 May (Eid al-Adha), 19 May (Vesak) and 24 December (Christmas). Employers following the decree will therefore close from 6 to 15 March 2027.

Is cuti bersama compulsory for private companies?

No. Cuti bersama binds civil servants; for private employers it is optional and, when applied, deducted from annual leave.

Both decrees state that collective leave reduces annual leave and that private-sector implementation is decided by each company's management, so employers should announce which days the office will observe.

What must employers know about pay, THR and tax deadlines?

Holidays affect overtime, the THR religious holiday allowance and monthly tax deadlines.

• Holiday work. Under Article 85 of the Manpower Law, employees need not work on official holidays; an employer that requires it pays overtime. Under Article 31 of Government Regulation 35 of 2021, for a five-day, 40-hour week, holiday work is paid at 2 times the hourly wage for the first eight hours, 3 times for the ninth hour, and 4 times for the tenth to twelfth hours.
• THR. The religious holiday allowance must be paid no later than seven days before the employee's religious holiday, under Minister of Manpower Regulation 6 of 2016 (Kemnaker JDIH).
• Tax deadlines. A monthly tax payment due on a weekend, public holiday or cuti bersama day may be paid on the next working day, as the DJP explains under PMK 81/2024. Annual deadlines do not shift, so the individual return remains due on 31 March. See our guide on how to file individual tax returns and the Indonesia tax compliance calendar 2026.

How can finance teams plan around the holiday calendar?

Build one internal calendar combining holidays, THR, payroll and tax dates, because Eid al-Fitr in 2026 and 2027 falls close to the 31 March tax deadline. For support aligning payroll, THR and tax filing dates, see our tax compliance and audit readiness service.
