What the calendar shows
Each month is a grid with one row for each week. The first column is the ISO 8601 week number: week 1 of a year is the week that holds its first Thursday. So the last days of December can belong to week 1 of the next year, and the first days of January to week 52 or 53 of the year before.
Public holidays are shaded. A half day, such as the eve of a religious holiday, has a lighter shade. The holiday names are listed under the month in the language of the page.
A star after a date marks a religious date that is calculated but not yet announced. It may move by a day.
Where the holiday dates come from
Each country's holidays come from its official source, and the tool keeps them as a fixed list. Turkey: Law No. 2429 and the Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı lists of religious days. United States: the federal holidays of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). England and Wales: the bank holidays on gov.uk. France: the eleven jours fériés in article L3133-1 of the Code du travail. Spain: the national holidays of the BOE list that apply in every region. Germany: the national holidays, plus the holidays of the state you choose, from the holiday laws of the Länder. Russia, Japan, Indonesia, India, Saudi Arabia and China follow their own laws, decrees and government notices; the Saudi Eid holidays are four days each, from the labour ministry's guide and the Umm al-Qura calendar.
- Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Alsace-Moselle region of France have holidays of their own, which are not included.
- Holidays that apply in only some Spanish regions, such as Holy Thursday, are left out.
- The holiday data covers 2025, 2026 and 2027 only. Other years show the calendar without holidays.
- China (mainland): every day off of the State Council's holiday notices for 2025, 2026 and 2027. Make-up working days are not marked on this calendar.
Printing and PDF
Print opens your browser's print dialog and prints only the calendar sheet, set for A4 paper. In the one-month-per-page layout each month starts a new sheet. Choose Save as PDF in the dialog to keep the calendar as a file, in any language.
Download PDF makes the file in your browser. Names written with letters the standard Helvetica font can write are drawn with it; names with other letters, such as Turkish ı or Cyrillic, are drawn as pictures of their text, so every language gets a PDF.
Example: the 2026 calendar for Turkey, starting on Monday
Choose the year 2026, Whole year, Monday, Turkey and One month per page. January starts on Thursday 1 January 2026, so the first row shows 1 to 4 January in the last four columns. Its week number is 1.
In October, 29 October is Republic Day, a Thursday. It is shaded in the grid and listed under the month, after the half day on 28 October.
| Date | Holiday in the list |
|---|---|
| 28 October 2026 | Republic Day eve (from 13:00) · half day |
| 29 October 2026 | Republic Day |
Frequently asked questions
What do the numbers in the first column mean?
They are ISO week numbers, counted from the Monday of each row. The number changes once a week, and it can belong to the next or the previous year at the start and end of a calendar year.
Why does the PDF show some names as pictures?
The PDF uses the standard Helvetica font, which cannot write letters such as Turkish ı, ş and ğ, or Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Devanagari and Arabic. Those names are drawn as pictures of their text, in the same size and place, so the PDF button is shown for every language.
Can I print a calendar for 2030?
Yes. The grid works for every year from 1900 to 2100. The holiday list covers only 2025 to 2027, so other years show no holidays.
What does the star after a date mean?
It marks a date that is calculated in advance but not yet officially announced: a 2027 Turkish religious date, or a Saudi Eid day. The sighting of the moon or the official announcement can move it by a day, so check the official list before you plan around it.
Is what I choose sent to a server?
No. The calendar is built in your browser, and nothing you choose is stored or sent to us.
Are the Scottish and Northern Irish bank holidays included?
No. For the United Kingdom the list uses the England and Wales bank holidays. Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own holidays, which are not in the list.
