2026 runs from Thursday, January 1, 2026 to Thursday, December 31, 2026: 365 days in all, 261 of them weekdays and 104 weekend days. 11 federal holidays fall inside it — New Year's Day (January 1, 2026), Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 19, 2026), Presidents' Day (February 16, 2026), Memorial Day (May 25, 2026), Juneteenth (June 19, 2026), Independence Day (July 3, 2026), Labor Day (September 7, 2026), Columbus Day (October 12, 2026), Veterans Day (November 11, 2026), Thanksgiving (November 26, 2026), Christmas (December 25, 2026) — so 250 working days are left once those are taken off. 2026 is not a leap year, so February has 28 days and the year 365. A year is a leap year when it divides by 4, except centuries, which must divide by 400 — 2000 was a leap year and 1900 was not. Business days here are Monday to Friday; federal holidays are listed separately because private employers do not all take the same ones.
