Which holidays are covered?

The 11 federal holidays defined in 5 U.S.C. § 6103. Fixed dates: New Year's (1/1), Juneteenth (6/19, from 2021), Independence Day (7/4), Veterans Day (11/11), Christmas (12/25). Monday holidays: MLK Day (3rd Monday of January, from 1986), Presidents' Day (3rd Monday of February), Memorial Day (last Monday of May), Labor Day (1st Monday of September), Columbus Day (2nd Monday of October). Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday of November.

How do observed (substitute) holidays work?

Per 5 U.S.C. § 6103(b), a federal holiday falling on Saturday is observed on the preceding Friday; falling on Sunday it is observed on the following Monday. The tool blocks both the actual date and the observed substitute. Monday-anchored holidays and the Thursday Thanksgiving never trigger the rule.

Are state-specific holidays (Patriots' Day, Cesar Chavez Day, etc.) included?

No. The calculator covers federal holidays only — state or city holidays like Massachusetts Patriots' Day or California Cesar Chavez Day are not handled.

Since when are Juneteenth and MLK Day federal holidays?

Juneteenth (6/19) was signed into law in June 2021. MLK Day (3rd Monday of January) was created in 1983 and first observed in 1986. The tool reflects both start years.

Does this match NYSE trading-day closures?

Close but not identical. NYSE also closes on Good Friday and treats some weekend-fall federal holidays differently. For settlement-date precision check the NYSE Holiday Calendar.

Is the start date itself counted as a business day?

No. The start date is a reference point. 'N business days after' returns the Nth business day starting the day after; 'N business days before' counts backwards similarly.

Is any date information uploaded?

No. All math runs in your browser; no dates leave your device.
