How it works?
This calculator counts working days, public holidays, and shortened workdays for a selected country and period. A working day is any Monday–Friday that is not a public holiday. Shortened workdays are working days that precede a public holiday (e.g. in Estonia, the law mandates a 3-hour reduction).
Holiday data comes from the Nager.Date public holiday database, updated annually.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a working day?
A working day is any Monday through Friday that is not a public holiday. Saturdays and Sundays are weekends and are not counted as working days.
What is a shortened workday?
In Estonia, the working day before a public holiday is legally shortened by 3 hours. For example, the day before Midsummer Day (June 24) is 3 hours shorter than a normal working day.
Why don’t some public holidays reduce the working day count?
If a public holiday falls on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday), it does not reduce the working day count, since those days would not be working days regardless.
