How it’s calculated
Business days = calendar days counted − weekend days − federal holidays that fall on a business day.
Holidays are counted on their observed dates: a Saturday holiday is observed on the Friday before and a Sunday holiday on the Monday after, as for federal employees. Private employers set their own holiday schedules.
Worked example with your numbers
- Dates counted: Thu, Oct 1, 2026 through Thu, Dec 31, 2026 (start and end dates included) = 92 calendar days.
- Weekend days (Saturday and Sunday): − 26.
- Federal holidays on business days (observed dates): − 4 (Columbus Day, Mon, Oct 12; Veterans Day, Wed, Nov 11; Thanksgiving Day, Thu, Nov 26; Christmas Day, Fri, Dec 25).
- Business days: 92 − 26 − 4 = 62.
- Work hours: 62 × 8 h = 496 hours.
