New Brunswick Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: October 7, 2026
Calculate business days in New Brunswick with its own statutory holidays. Like the Canada calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list, so due dates and deadlines can land differently from the federal count.
How New Brunswick differs from the federal Canadian holidays
New Brunswick's Employment Standards page lists eight paid public holidays: New Year's Day, Family Day, Good Friday, Canada Day, New Brunswick Day, Labour Day, Remembrance Day and Christmas Day. Against the federal Canadian set that adds Family Day and New Brunswick Day and leaves out Victoria Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Thanksgiving and Boxing Day, so a New Brunswick count drops those four. When a holiday falls on a non-working day, the same page says a qualifying employee must receive another working day off with pay in lieu of it, or, if the employee agrees, a regular day's pay. It fixes no date for that day, so this calendar counts none: a public holiday on a Saturday or Sunday stays on its own date and no weekday is added for it.
Worked example
Adding 2 business days to Friday, July 31, 2026 using New Brunswick's statutory holidays lands on Wednesday, August 5, 2026. With the federal Canadian holidays, the same calculation lands on Tuesday, August 4, 2026: the gap comes from New Brunswick's own calendar.

How to count New Brunswick business days
For an interactive calculation, use the Canada calculator, which counts the federal holidays. Under Advanced options you can add any dates New Brunswick adds to the federal set, one per line, in the year-month-day form shown there. Advanced options cannot remove a date, so a count that crosses a weekday the federal set closes and New Brunswick's calendar leaves open will not match New Brunswick's calendar. The New Brunswick statutory holidays 2026 page linked below lists the dates.
New Brunswick statutory holiday data is verified against the Government of New Brunswick Employment Standards page (gnb.ca).
