How to Use the Remaining Holidays Calculator
This tool looks at today's date and lists every US federal holiday still coming up this year (or next), with a live countdown for each one. It computes New Year's Day, MLK Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas using the actual calendar rules for each holiday, so the dates stay accurate for any year you check — no manual updates needed.
Alongside the holiday list, the calculator scans the full year for long weekends: any stretch of 3 or more consecutive days off created when a holiday lines up with a Saturday or Sunday. It also applies the federal "observed" rule — a holiday landing on a Saturday is observed the Friday before, and one landing on a Sunday is observed the following Monday — so the long weekends you see reflect the days most employers and schools actually treat as time off.
Keep in mind this calculator covers federal holidays only; private employers, schools, and states can add, skip, or move holidays based on their own policies, so always confirm your actual day off with your employer's calendar before booking travel.
