Rheinland-Pfalz Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: August 24, 2026
Calculate business days in Rheinland-Pfalz with its own statewide Feiertage. Like the Germany calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the Feiertage list, so due dates and deadlines can land differently from the count built on the 9 nationwide Feiertage.
How Rheinland-Pfalz differs from the nationwide German holidays
Rhineland-Palatinate adds two Feiertage to the nationwide German Feiertage: Fronleichnam and Allerheiligen on 1 November. The Interior Ministry's list of gesetzliche Feiertage gives Fronleichnam on Thursday 4 June 2026 and Thursday 27 May 2027, and Allerheiligen on Sunday 1 November 2026 and Monday 1 November 2027. For 2028 this calendar puts Fronleichnam on Thursday 15 June and Allerheiligen on Wednesday 1 November. Fronleichnam shortens the count in every year; Allerheiligen does so in 2027 and 2028.
Worked example
Adding 1 business day to Wednesday, June 3, 2026 using Rheinland-Pfalz's Feiertage lands on Friday, June 5, 2026. With the 9 nationwide German Feiertage, the same calculation lands on Thursday, June 4, 2026: the gap comes from Rheinland-Pfalz's own calendar.
