About HolidayTally

HolidayTally is published by MonoApps. It is an independent site and is not affiliated with any government or public body.

The site exists because the answer to a simple question, how many working days are there this month, is spread across many places. Each jurisdiction publishes its own list of public holidays, each has its own rule for a holiday that falls on a weekend, and some dates are only announced a few months ahead. HolidayTally brings those rules together for 105 jurisdictions in 36 countries: the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, plus the 26 other member states of the European Union, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland, with their German and Spanish regions, Alsace-Moselle and the Swiss cantons. All pages are in English, with holiday names in British spelling. It turns those rules into public holidays, working days and working hours for each month and each year.

It is meant for anyone who plans time off, schedules work or runs payroll: employees choosing when to take leave, HR and payroll teams, and small businesses. Every year page also lists the long weekends and shows how to combine a few days of leave with public holidays for longer breaks.

The numbers are calculated from the open-source python-holidays library and cross-checked against official government sources on every build. The Methodology page explains each counting rule and lists the sources. The site is rebuilt every month, and every year page shows the date its data was last checked.
