Calendar source: date-holidays. This page does not independently verify the 9 records shown. Calendars can vary by region or industry and change at short notice; for critical decisions, confirm dates with the relevant local authority.

Who maintains this information

BizDays Global is developed and maintained by Sergio Fuentes, a qualified software engineer with professional experience building applications. The application uses the open-source date-holidays library for the country calendars it supports.

We do not independently verify every date manually. Calendars may omit regional or industry holidays, or miss recent changes, so the result is a planning aid and does not replace the relevant local authority.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a business day and a calendar day?

Calendar days count every day (including weekends). Business days exclude weekends and typically public holidays.

Why does the result change by country?

Because each country has a different public-holiday calendar. Also, some industries treat Saturday as a working day.

Can I use this for legal or banking deadlines?

Use it as a planning aid. Some official deadlines depend on specific definitions (e.g., regional holidays, cut-off times, or jurisdiction-specific rules).
