Reference notes

This page counts weekends, New Zealand statutory public holidays, and one optional regional anniversary day. It does not model court shutdowns, industry closures, or custom business rules.

  • Start with the national baseline, then switch to a region only if an anniversary day could change the result.
  • Use the monthly totals as the source of truth for annual planning. Use the main calculator when you need exact counts across a specific date range.

For the full holiday list, see the NZ public holidays guide. If your deadlines depend on substitute-day rules, read the mondayisation explainer.
