Frequently asked questions

How many federal holidays are there in 2026?

11: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, 4th of July, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas. One falls on a weekend and is observed on a weekday instead: 4th of July on Fri, Jul 3.

When are Easter and Thanksgiving in 2026?

Easter Sunday is Sunday, April 5, 2026, and Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 2026 — the fourth Thursday of November.

What does "Observed" mean?

When a federal holiday lands on a Saturday, federal employees get the Friday before off; when it lands on a Sunday, they get the Monday after. Many employers follow the same rule.

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.
