When are Easter and Thanksgiving in 2026?

What does "Observed" mean?

How many working days are there in 2026?

250 on the federal calendar: every Monday to Friday in 2026, minus the federal holidays on the weekdays they're observed. State and company holidays can lower it further.

Are the dates for Jewish and Islamic holidays exact?

Jewish holidays follow the fixed Hebrew calendar; they begin at sundown, and the date shown is that first evening. Islamic dates are Umm al-Qura calendar predictions — the start of each month depends on sighting the new crescent, so your community may observe them a day earlier or later.
