Working days calculator 2026 and 2027

2026 has 261 weekdays (Monday to Friday). Take off the public holidays that fall on weekdays and you get the working days: 253 in England and Wales after 8 bank holidays, for example. The number differs by country and region because public holidays do, from 10 in some German states to 12 in Spain's regions before local holidays.

Germany has nine nationwide public holidays, and each state's law adds its own. Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg add Epiphany, Corpus Christi and All Saints' Day; Saxony adds Reformation Day and the Day of Repentance; Berlin adds International Women's Day. Choose your state to count the days that apply where you work.

No. The calculator includes the national holidays and the holidays set by each autonomous community, as published in the BOE. Each municipality can add up to two local holidays, and the Canary Islands have one holiday per island, so take those off yourself if they fall on a working day where you work.

It depends on the country. In the UK a substitute bank holiday is usually given on the next weekday, and the dates here include those substitutes. In Ireland there is no substitute weekday. In Spain, regions often move the holiday to the Monday. In Germany and France there is generally no substitute day, so the holiday is simply lost.

Multiply the working days in the month by the hours you work each day. Enter your hours a day and choose the month to see the working hours directly. Take off any days of annual leave you plan to use: the calculator subtracts them from the working days to give the days you actually work.
