October 2026 runs from Thursday, October 1, 2026 to Saturday, October 31, 2026: 31 days in all, 22 of them weekdays and 9 weekend days. One federal holiday falls inside it — Columbus Day (October 12, 2026) — so 21 working days are left once those are taken off. Both end days are counted, which is how a calendar counts a month rather than how a date difference counts one. Business days here are Monday to Friday; federal holidays are listed separately because private employers do not all take the same ones.
