How we count the work days
The unit is a weekday, Monday to Friday. A table further down takes off the public holidays for four countries.
The gap to Easter Sunday is 145 days, measured from Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Both ends are left out, so only the days between count.
The result comes from plain date arithmetic, with no approximation. It follows the Gregorian calendar used across the US, UK, Canada and Australia.
Related figures follow the same rule. Sleeps equal days, work days skip weekends, and hours run from the start of today in your time zone.
It is 145 sleeps, matching the days, since tonight is the first night.

Why count work days?
Many people ask for work days because it matches how they plan. A countdown in days sounds long, while a count in work days feels easier to hold in mind.
Some people find days too small a unit and years too large. work days sit in between, which is why this page exists.
Expect the number to drop at a steady pace. It never jumps, so a sudden change would mean the date or the time zone has changed.
The page works offline once it has loaded. It recounts from your own clock the moment you return to it.
Work days until other holidays

| Black Friday | Fri, Nov 27 | 17 |
| Christmas | Fri, Dec 25 | 37 |
| New Year's Day | Fri, Jan 1 | 42 |
| Valentine's Day | Sun, Feb 14 | 73 |

Planning with the count
If you are saving for Easter Sunday, divide the amount by the work days left. The result is what to set aside each time.
Keep one source of truth for the plan. This count is reproducible, so you can check it against your own calendar.
Public holidays change the picture. Some of the days in the span are days off, so the useful number for a job or a rota can be lower.
Some dates shift between years, and the count follows them. You do not need to adjust anything yourself.
Put the count in a calendar note so you see it often. A figure that you see every day is much harder to ignore.
A cushion at the end makes a plan sturdier. Keep a work day or two free before Easter Sunday for the unexpected.
Set a reminder against the count. Pick a work day, add an alert to your calendar, and let the page do the sums.
Teachers and coaches can plan sessions this way. Each work day is a unit of time, and the page shows how many remain.
A page like this is best used as a quick check before you commit to any firm dates. It is a small step, but it saves a lot of recounting on a busy day.
Checking the number
A quick check is easy. Write the dates down, cross off the work days one by one, and compare your total with the page.
Midnight comes at different times around the world. The count changes for you when your date does, not before.
A phone widget or a pinned tab keeps the count in view. It is easy to forget how fast the work days go.
The detail below shows how the total is built. Scan it before you rely on the count for anything important.
