Where the dates come from

Public holidays around the world

Holiday dates come from national laws and government calendars, with Wikipedia used for everyday calendar facts. Recurring dates are calculated from their rules. Future Islamic dates can depend on local announcements, and a government can add a one-off day off or change a workday.

Rule calculations use the open date-holidays and python-holidays rule sets. Calendar facts are restated in our own words.

Banking and settlement days

Currency and country names come from SIX's ISO 4217 list. USD uses Federal Reserve Bank closures; EUR uses TARGET closing days; GBP uses the Bank of England’s CHAPS days (bank holidays in England and Wales); JPY uses the bank holidays of the Banking Act Enforcement Order, article 5 (national holidays and December 31 to January 3); CAD uses Payments Canada’s system closure days (ten federal holidays, under Lynx Rule 2); AUD uses the days RITS is closed (eight holidays when New South Wales and Victoria both observe them); CHF uses SIX’s SIC clearing days; SEK uses the Swedish Bankers’ Association’s bank holidays; NOK uses Norges Bank’s settlement days; DKK uses Danmarks Nationalbank’s bank holidays. THB uses the Bank of Thailand’s holidays for financial institutions (Notifications No. 31/2568 for 2026 and No. 37/2569 for 2027); for branches in Narathiwat, Pattani, Yala, Satun and Songkhla it adds the days of the Sheikhul Islam Office’s announcements of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in 2026, and Chinese New Year. IDR uses Bank Indonesia’s 2026 holidays and collective leave days and, for 2027, the joint decree of September 15, 2026. MXN uses the CNBV’s bank closing days for 2026 (Diario Oficial de la Federación, December 10, 2025). BRL uses CMN Resolution 4,880 (business days for the financial market) and FEBRABAN’s bank holidays. HKD uses HKD CHATS’s settlement days (Hong Kong’s general holidays); SGD uses MEPS+’s operating days (Singapore’s public holidays); NZD uses the New Zealand Business Day (national public holidays, not regional anniversary days). INR uses the second and fourth Saturdays and the Reserve Bank of India’s holidays for each of its 34 regional offices, from Agartala to Vijayawada, and for Haryana the state’s 2026 holidays under the Negotiable Instruments Act, with Bakrid on May 28 as its notification of May 25, 2026 moved it. MYR uses the holidays of Kuala Lumpur, which Bank Negara Malaysia’s calendar lists for its head office, or of the state you choose, from the Prime Minister’s Department’s lists for 2026 and 2027. Other currencies use the selected national public-holiday calendar. A bank's own processing schedule can differ.

School dates and age conventions

Each school calendar comes from its education authority's own published dates, listed here by country.

School calendars are reviewed yearly, with the update date shown on their pages. The age comparison follows the conventions described in East Asian age reckoning.

Fun and awareness days

Informal observances use commonly observed dates; they do not imply a public day off. Sources include Wikipedia's holiday lists, food days, and the United Nations' international days. A month or week countdown ends on its first day. Holi follows the Hindu calendar; the years listed are for its main day of color.

What a day count means

A days-until count leaves today out and includes your target date. Sleeps means the nights before it arrives. A count between two dates leaves the end date out unless you choose to include it.

Weekdays are Monday through Friday, including holidays. Working days also remove the holidays and weekend days you select. Our US federal calendar follows the standard federal workweek; state holidays, employer schedules and one-off closures can differ.

For an exact countdown, we compare your chosen instant with your device’s clock. A day on the calendar can be shorter or longer than a full day of elapsed time when the clocks change.

Month ends, birthdays and weeks

Adding months or years keeps the day of the month when possible. Otherwise, the result uses the last day of the target month. A leap-day birthday uses the last day of February in a non-leap year. These are counting conventions, not decisions about legal age.

ISO weeks start on Monday, and the first Thursday belongs to week one. Our Sunday-start comparison uses the week containing January 1 as week one. Historical dates use the Gregorian calendar, even before its local adoption.

Holiday dates

Federal holiday rules come from US law and the Office of Personnel Management. Other observances follow the official references listed below. Holiday countdowns use the actual date, while the working-day calculator uses the observed day off.

Religious and lunar calendars

These are the dates announced by the named calendar authority, through 2030. Islamic starts remain subject to local moon sighting. Jewish dates begin at local sundown; our day count does not claim an exact sunset time. Diwali and Lunar New Year follow the specific calendars named below.

The arithmetic behind the answer

Worked examples use the dates and choices shown beside them. Their totals are calculated by us.

Equinoxes and solstices

The US Naval Observatory provides the Northern Hemisphere season times for 2026 through 2031. We convert each published time to your selected timezone. The times have minute precision; Universal Time is treated as UTC at that precision.

Sunrise and sunset in US cities

Each city's point is its center point in the US Census Bureau's 2026 Gazetteer Files (places file, released September 8, 2026). Where that point lies more than 10 km (6 miles) from where the city's people live, as in San Francisco, whose Gazetteer point is out at sea, the point is instead the center of the city's population: the Census Bureau's 2020 centers of population of the block groups inside the city's boundary (from its 2025 cartographic boundary files), weighted by their people; each such page says so. The cities are those the Census Bureau's Vintage 2025 population estimates (released May 14, 2026) count at 100,000 people or more, with each state's capital and largest city. Each city's time zone comes from the timezone-boundary-builder map, © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License. The sunrise, sunset and twilight times are calculated for that point with Astronomy Engine, for a level horizon at sea level.

Sunrise and sunset in world cities

Each world city's point and name come from GeoNames (its file of cities with 15,000 people or more and every capital, read October 23, 2026), available under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 License. The 528 cities are every national capital GeoNames lists, every state or province capital of 1,000,000 people or more, every other city of 3,000,000 or more, and every city of 200,000 or more in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, by GeoNames' population figures, with Jerusalem and Tel Aviv added, since GeoNames lists no national capital for Israel; a city within 20 km (12 miles) of a larger one on the list is left out, since its times would repeat that city's. Each city's time zone is read from the timezone-boundary-builder map and checked against the zone GeoNames gives, and the times are calculated for that point with Astronomy Engine, for a level horizon at sea level.

Eclipses

The paths of the total solar eclipses of August 2, 2027, July 22, 2028, November 25, 2030, March 30, 2033, March 20, 2034, September 2, 2035, July 13, 2037, December 26, 2038, December 15, 2039, April 30, 2041, April 20, 2042, August 23, 2044, August 12, 2045, August 2, 2046 and December 5, 2048, of the annular eclipses of January 26, 2028, June 1, 2030, May 21, 2031, September 12, 2034, March 9, 2035, January 5, 2038, July 2, 2038, June 21, 2039, October 25, 2041, October 14, 2042, February 16, 2045, February 5, 2046, June 11, 2048 and May 31, 2049, and of the hybrid eclipses of November 14, 2031 and November 25, 2049, their widths and the greatest eclipse are Eclipse Predictions by Fred Espenak, NASA's GSFC (August 2027, January 2028, July 2028, June 2030, November 2030, May 2031, November 2031, March 2033, March 2034, September 2034, March 2035, September 2035, July 2037, January 2038, July 2038, December 2038, June 2039, December 2039, April 2041, October 2041, April 2042, October 2042, August 2044, February 2045, August 2045, February 2046, August 2046, June 2048, December 2048, May 2049, November 2049). Near the two ends of the December 2039, August 2044, February 2046, August 2046, June 2048, December 2048, May 2049 and November 2049 paths, where the Sun is on the horizon and NASA's table lists the edges only every few hundred kilometres (on the December 2039 path also between NASA's points over Antarctica, where the shadow moves fast), the edge between its points is traced with Astronomy Engine. The times for each place, and the dates of every other eclipse, are computed with Astronomy Engine, which treats the Sun and Moon as smooth spheres. The maps' coastlines, and the large lakes and borders on the August 2044, August 2045, February 2046, August 2046, June 2048, December 2048, May 2049 and November 2049 maps and the ice shelves on the December 2039 map of Antarctica, are Natural Earth's, which is in the public domain. Viewing advice follows NASA's eclipse safety guidance.

Today and future dates

Your browser supplies today in the timezone shown. Counts update when the date changes and when you return to an open tab. Holiday dates follow their recurring rules. If we do not have a future season date, the calculator says it is unavailable instead of showing zero.

For a court deadline, payroll date or another consequential deadline, confirm the rule with the responsible organization.

Time zones and Moon phases

Timezone calculations use IANA 2026f, distributed by Moment Timezone under the MIT licence. Updated October 31, 2026. Astronomy Engine by Don Cross supplies solar-time and eclipse calculations under the MIT licence. Calculations are compared with the US Naval Observatory services; they are not observations.
