Select the country or region whose public holidays actually apply to you.

The planner tests thousands of date ranges and counts the working days you would need to book.

A holiday planner that explains the maths

We show exactly which days are weekends, public holidays and annual leave. No mysterious “AI itinerary” and no account required. Dates are generated from a maintained holiday dataset, with caveats shown where regional or employment rules can differ.
