How it counts
From the total days in the period it subtracts Saturdays, Sundays, and official public holidays, leaving the net working (business) days.
Working Days Between Two Dates
Count the working days between two dates — excluding weekends and Bulgarian official public holidays, including substitute days.
Bulgarian holidays
Every official non-working holiday is included — the fixed dates and the movable Easter days (Good Friday through Easter Monday).
Substitute days
When a holiday (other than Easter) lands on a weekend, the next workday becomes non-working — as required by the Labour Code.
Frequently asked questions
How are working days counted?
Working days are all days in the period excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and official public holidays. The calculator steps through the selected range day by day and subtracts weekend and holiday days.
Which are the official public holidays in Bulgaria?
New Year's Day (1 January), Liberation Day (3 March), Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Easter Sunday and Monday, Labour Day (1 May), St George's Day / Army Day (6 May), Bulgarian Education and Culture Day (24 May), Unification Day (6 September), Independence Day (22 September) and Christmas (24, 25 and 26 December).
What are "substitute days"?
Under Article 154 of the Bulgarian Labour Code, when a public holiday (other than the Easter days) falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the next working day is also non-working. The calculator applies this rule by default — you can turn it off.
Is the end date included?
By default, yes — the end date is counted too. Turn off "Count the end date" if you want the days between the dates excluding the final day (for example, when computing a deadline).
Which years does the calculator support?
Movable holidays (Easter) are available for 1980–2050. Outside that range only fixed-date holidays stay accurate. Fixed-date holidays (Christmas, New Year, etc.) are computed for any year.
Are my dates stored anywhere?
No. Every calculation happens entirely in your browser — nothing is sent or saved.
