Settings

This page keeps its named target date fixed. To choose another date, use the working days countdown.

Default: today is not counted; the target day is included only if it is eligible — "how many more working days do I have to get through".

Holiday coverage and sources

National or federal rules only. UK means England and Wales. Regional, company and exceptional holidays may differ; add those in the custom box. This is a recurring-rule calculator, not a complete historical holiday archive.

Official references: US federal holidays · UK bank holidays · Australia by state and territory · Canada federal general holidays · Germany holiday calendar. Reference links checked October 14, 2026; this does not certify every historical or future date.

For Canada, this calculator uses next-weekday substitutes as a planning convention; employer schedules may use a different day.

Working days until New Year's Day 2028

New Year's Day 2028 falls on a Saturday. The countdown at the top of this page counts the business days between today and that date: every Monday–Friday that is not a public holiday in the country you select. The calendar-day count and the number of weekend days are shown alongside so you can see how the total breaks down.

People ask this a few different ways — business days till New Year 2028, work days until New Year 2028, weekdays left before New Year 2028 — and they all mean the same count: Monday to Friday, minus public holidays. That is the number shown above.

By default today is left out and New Year 2028 itself is counted if it is a working day. If you need the number of days after today up to but not including New Year 2028, untick "Count the target day"; if you want to include today, tick "Count today".

Public holidays before New Year 2028

These national holidays fall in 2028 on or before New Year's Day 2028 and are excluded when the matching country is selected. Holidays already in the past are ignored automatically.

Other countries and regional holidays

Only national or federal holidays are built in. US state holidays, Scottish or Northern Irish bank holidays, Canadian provincial days, Australian state holidays and German state Feiertage are not included — paste them into the custom box (one per line, for example 2028-11-01) and they are excluded too. For a different target date use the working days countdown; to count between any two dates use the business days calculator.
