Frequently asked questions
Where do these dates come from?
Each list is taken from the official source for that country or region: GOV.UK, Citizens Information (Ireland), each Canadian province's employment standards office and the Canada Labour Code, the Fair Work Ombudsman and state governments (Australia), and Employment New Zealand. Every page links its sources, and all dates were last checked on 2026-11-06.
Why do holidays differ inside one country?
In the UK, Canada and Australia, holidays are set by the nations, provinces or states rather than one central list. Only a few (such as Christmas Day and Good Friday) apply everywhere; the rest, like Family Day in Canada or the King’s Birthday in Australia, vary by place and sometimes by date.
Are US federal holidays covered?
Yes, on the countdown and business-day pages: US federal holidays are built into the business days calculator and each year’s business-day count.
Counting down instead? Try days until a holiday or weeks until a holiday. In the US, see sales tax holidays (tax-free weekends) by state.
