How working days are calculated
We count every date from today to 31 December, including both. Each date goes into exactly one bucket: a weekend day, a public holiday that falls on a weekday, or a working day. That way no date is ever subtracted twice.
Working hours are simply working days × hours per day. Use the 7h selector above to match your contract.
Public holidays rules
France has 11 public holidays (jours fériés). Alsace-Moselle (Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin and Moselle) adds Good Friday and 26 December. Holidays that fall on a weekend are not moved to a weekday.
By law only 1 May must be a paid day off; the other holidays are days off for most employees through collective agreements, which is how we count them. Many employers use Whit Monday as the Journée de solidarité, a working day. The default is 7 hours a day, matching the 35-hour week.

Frequently asked questions
How many working days are left this year in Metropolitan France?
There are 67 working days left in 2026 in Metropolitan France, counting from today (Saturday, 26 September 2026) to 31 December inclusive. That is 97 days in total, minus 28 weekend days and 2 public holidays falling on weekdays.
Are public holidays included in working days?
No. Any public holiday that falls on a weekday is removed from the working days total. A holiday on a Saturday or Sunday is already a weekend day, so it isn't subtracted again; where the rules give a substitute weekday, that weekday is removed instead.
Are Saturdays and Sundays working days?
No. The calculator uses a Monday–Friday working week for France, so Saturdays and Sundays are counted as weekend days. If you work weekends or shifts, your own total will differ.
How are working hours calculated?
Working hours = working days × hours per day. At 7 hours a day that is 469 hours. Change the hours-per-day setting above to match your contract.
Which public holidays are days off in France?
All 11 jours fériés are counted as days off, which matches most collective agreements, although only 1 May is guaranteed by law. Holidays that fall on a Saturday or Sunday aren't replaced. If your employer uses Whit Monday as the Journée de solidarité, add one working day to the total.
Which date counts as "today"?
Today is the current date in Metropolitan France (Europe/Paris time), not your device's date, so the figures change at local midnight there. Today is included in the count, but only as a working day if it is one.
