Holiday Calculators & Information

FreecalcHub offers the Holiday Calculator, which lists US federal holidays and bank holidays for England and Wales for any year.

Use the Holiday Calculator: enter a year and choose a region, and it lists every US federal holiday or England and Wales bank holiday for that year in date order, with the observed date where one falls at a weekend and how many days away each is. Easter is calculated rather than looked up, so Good Friday and Easter Monday are right for any year.

Holiday dates change yearly for floating holidays like Easter, Thanksgiving, and other date-dependent celebrations.

Yes. The Business Days Calculator counts the working days between two dates, or adds working days to a date, skipping weekends and either US federal holidays or England and Wales bank holidays. The result lists every holiday it removed so you can check them.

No other countries, and no state, county or company holidays, are included.

Holidays extend project timelines by reducing the working days available. Use the Business Days Calculator to add a number of working days to a start date with US federal holidays or England and Wales bank holidays skipped, or to count the working days left before a deadline. A negative number counts backwards.

It covers the national lists only, so add any state, regional or company days your organisation observes.

Two national lists only: US federal holidays, and bank holidays for England and Wales. No other countries are covered, and neither are Scotland and Northern Ireland, US state or county holidays, or company days.

If you plan around another country's holidays, check its official list; this calculator will not include them.

Use our holiday calculators to check for conflicts with major celebrations before scheduling events. Consider both national holidays and cultural observances relevant to your audience.

To count down to the event itself, use our Countdown Calculator.

Holidays affect pay through paid time off and holiday pay rates, but FreecalcHub has no payroll calculator. Use the Holiday Calculator to confirm which dates in a pay period are holidays and the Business Days Calculator to count the working days in it, then apply your own pay rules.

Consider federal, state, and company-specific holidays when calculating employee pay and benefits.

The only religious holidays included are the ones on the two national lists: Christmas Day in both, plus Good Friday and Easter Monday for England and Wales, which are calculated from the date of Easter for any year. Jewish, Islamic and other observances are not included, so add them yourself if they matter to your planning.

Easter is computed with the standard Gregorian algorithm rather than read from a table, so the movable dates are right for any year.

Federal holidays are observed nationwide by government agencies and many businesses, while state holidays are specific to individual states. Some businesses may observe additional company-specific holidays.

Understanding these differences helps with accurate business planning and scheduling.

Floating holidays change dates annually based on specific rules (like "first Monday in September" for Labor Day). Our calculators handle these variable dates automatically.

Dynamic holiday calculations ensure accurate planning for years in advance.

No. The Holiday Calculator lists the two national sets only, US federal holidays and England and Wales bank holidays, and the Business Days Calculator skips one of those sets or weekends only. There is no way to add your own dates, so for company or regional days start from the national list and add them by hand.

The Business Days Calculator lists every holiday it removed, which makes comparing against your own company calendar straightforward.

Our holiday calculators provide accurate dates for many years in advance, handling complex rules for floating holidays and multi-year patterns.

Long-term accuracy supports strategic planning, contract negotiations, and multi-year project management across all our Date & Time tools.
