Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online world holiday calculator.
Fixed holidays come from their month and day, while Easter is computed with the Anonymous
Gregorian algorithm and the rest follow from it.
Easter Sunday falls on 31 March in 2024 and on 20 April in 2025, and the tool works out both
from the same algorithm.
Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November, so the tool finds the first Thursday and
adds three weeks to reach it.
Good Friday is two days before, Easter Monday one day after, Ascension is thirty-nine days
after and Pentecost is forty-nine days after.
Many countries move a weekend holiday to the nearest working day. The tool lists the rule
date itself, so you can apply the local shift.
Scotland takes the first Monday in August as its summer holiday while England, Wales and
Northern Ireland take the last Monday in August.
The Gregorian Easter rule applies from 1583 onwards, and the calculator accepts any year from
1583 to 4099.
