How the count is made
A business day is Monday through Friday, minus the eleven U.S. federal holidays on their observed dates. The observed date matters: a fixed-date holiday landing on a Saturday is observed the Friday before, and one landing on a Sunday the Monday after, so the working day removed is not always the holiday itself. Full rules are on the methodology page.
Every figure here is calculated in the browser from civil-date arithmetic, not copied from a table, so the same rules produce the month pages, the calculator, and the 2026 calendar.
