How it works
Working days are Monday through Friday that are not listed public holidays for United States. Saturdays and Sundays are counted as weekend days. Holiday dates follow a simplified national calendar for planning estimates—not legal or payroll advice.
All figures use the UTC calendar for 2029, from January 1 through December 31. For a custom date range, use the Working Days Calculator linked below.
Examples
In 2029, United States has 365 calendar days. After removing 104 weekend days and the 11 public holidays that fall on a weekday, 250 working days remain.
Compare with calendar days
365 total days minus 104 weekend days leaves 261 weekdays before holidays.
Holiday impact
Public holidays on weekdays reduce the working-day total; holidays that fall on a weekend are still listed but do not subtract an extra day beyond the weekend count.
