How the 2027 working days are counted
Weekdays. 2027 has 365 days: 261 weekdays (Monday to Friday) and 104 weekend days.
Holidays. Each federal holiday is subtracted on the weekday it is observed: a holiday on a Saturday on the Friday before, one on a Sunday on the Monday after. The day off counts in the year in which it is observed, even when the holiday itself falls in the next year. In 2027: Juneteenth (Saturday) is observed on Friday, June 18; Independence Day (Sunday) is observed on Monday, July 5; Christmas Day (Saturday) is observed on Friday, December 24; New Year's Day 2028 (Saturday) is observed on Friday, December 31.
Not included. State holidays, company holidays and personal leave are not subtracted. If your employer observes fewer holidays (many private employers stay open on Columbus Day and Veterans Day), add those days back to the monthly figures.
