Q1 2026 runs from January 1 to March 31 and delivers 61 US working days — the fewest of the four quarters (Q2 has 63, Q3 has 64, Q4 has 62). Three federal holidays reduce Mon–Fri capacity: New Year's Day on January 1, Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 19, and Presidents' Day on February 16. If you're setting quarterly delivery targets, 61 days is your Q1 benchmark; switch the country to see how UK or other schedules compare.

Breakdown
How it's calculated
The engine iterates every calendar day in the inclusive range [start, end] in UTC to avoid daylight-saving drift. Each day is classified as weekend (if its day-of-week is in the chosen weekend pattern), holiday (if it appears in the built-in or custom holiday set), or working. Weekend takes precedence over holiday. US federal holiday dates follow the rules published by the US Office of Personnel Management: fixed-date holidays shift to Friday when they fall on Saturday and to Monday when they fall on Sunday. UK bank holidays for England and Wales follow the GOV.UK bank-holiday data, with substitute days rolling forward to the next free weekday. Easter is computed using the Anonymous Gregorian algorithm. The "add business days" direction walks forward or backward one day at a time, skipping non-working days until the requested count is exhausted.
