Working days calculator
Working days and hours between two dates, both included, for one jurisdiction. Weekends and the counted public holidays, with their observed days, are left out; a weekend day worked by decree counts as a working day.
Pick a jurisdiction and two dates between 2026 and 2028.
How it counts
A working day is a Monday to Friday that is not a counted public holiday, or a Saturday or Sunday that a decree makes a working day in exchange for a bridge day off, as in Hungary. When a holiday falls on a weekend and a substitute weekday is observed, the substitute day is not a working day. Holidays observed only by some employers or sectors are not left out. Hours are the working days multiplied by 7.5 and by 8. The methodology explains every rule.
- Ireland and the Canadian provinces covered here have no fixed substitute weekday. Irish law moves no public holiday, so a holiday on a Saturday or Sunday leaves the following Monday a working day.
- Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec do not move a holiday that falls on a weekend either: Ontario gives a substitute day off arranged for each employee, British Columbia gives statutory holiday pay, Quebec gives an indemnity or a compensatory day off, and in Alberta an employee who does not normally work that day gets neither holiday pay nor a day off in lieu. For these provinces the calculator counts only the dates that the law fixes, such as Canada Day on 2 July when 1 July is a Sunday.
- Under the Canada Labour Code (federal), a holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday that is not a scheduled work day gives a day off on the work day immediately before or after it, and the calculator counts the work day after.
- The calculator covers the years published on this site, 2026 to 2028; dates outside that range are refused rather than guessed.
Your dates never leave your browser: the calculator reads the published holiday data and does the counting on your device.
