How the 2026 number is calculated
Start with all calendar days in 2026, remove Saturdays and Sundays, then remove selected public holidays that fall on a working day. If your company treats additional dates as non-working days, subtract those too.

Business days in 2026
For a standard Monday-Friday workweek, 2026 has 261 weekdays and 104 weekend days. If you exclude the 11 common US federal holidays that fall on weekdays or observed weekdays, the year has about 250 US business days.
Why annual business days vary
A leap year, weekend placement, observed holidays, company shutdowns, and regional holidays can change the final number. That is why an annual estimate is useful, but a date-range calculator is safer for real deadlines.
