New Brunswick Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Calculate business days in New Brunswick with its own statutory holidays. New Brunswick shares the Monday to Friday working week and the Saturday and Sunday weekend with the rest of Canada, but its statutory holiday calendar is different, so due dates and deadlines can land differently from the federal count.
How New Brunswick differs from the federal Canadian holidays
New Brunswick prescribes eight paid public holidays under the Employment Standards Act. It adds Family Day on the third Monday of February (in force since 2018) and New Brunswick Day on the first Monday of August. Victoria Day, Thanksgiving, and Boxing Day are commonly given by employers but are not prescribed paid public holidays, and Easter Monday and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation are not provincial holidays either, so a New Brunswick count drops those five federal days. New Year's Day, Good Friday, Canada Day, Labour Day, Remembrance Day, and Christmas Day are kept. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
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.
