Plan the year with dates, not guesses

A year can have different working-day totals depending on weekends, observed holidays, and the region you choose. This page is built for 2026 date planning.

Use it for annual planning

Count business days for project calendars, HR schedules, school or office planning, payroll windows, contract periods, and shipping estimates.

Cross-check holidays

When holiday exclusion is enabled, the result lists holidays that fall inside the selected range and are not on a weekend.

Did you know?

In 2026, U.S. Independence Day falls on a Saturday, so many federal schedules observe it on Friday, July 3. Observed dates can change deadline math.

Choose the right range

For a full-year estimate, set the start date to January 1, 2026 and the end date to December 31, 2026, then choose the country and region.
