What the annual total means

The calculator counts every Monday through Friday from January through December of the selected year.

working days in year = sum of all Monday–Friday dates in the year

Why the total changes by year

Fifty-two complete weeks contribute 260 weekdays. A common year has one extra calendar day and a leap year has two, so the weekday placement of those extra dates can increase the final total.

Example

Under Hourformula’s Monday-through-Friday model, 2026 has 261 weekdays. That figure is a calendar count before holidays or closures are considered.

Use the right tool for holiday-adjusted ranges

The annual calculator has no excluded-dates field. If you need a specific range with known weekday holidays or closures, use the Business Days Calculator instead.
