Jura Business Day Calculator

Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026

Calculate business days in Jura with its own cantonal public holidays. Jura shares the Monday to Friday working week and the Saturday and Sunday weekend with the rest of Switzerland, but its holiday calendar is different, so due dates and deadlines can land differently from the national count.

How Jura differs from the national Swiss holidays

Jura, Switzerland's youngest canton, keeps the national Swiss public holidays and adds six of its own: the Lendemain du Nouvel An on 2 January, the Fête du Travail (Labour Day) on 1 May, Fête-Dieu (Corpus Christi), the Fête de l'Indépendance on 23 June (which marks the canton's independence won in 1974), Assomption (15 August) and Toussaint (1 November). It drops Saint-Étienne (26 December), which is not among the cantonal holidays, and unlike the central Catholic cantons it does not observe the Immaculée Conception (8 December). The 23 June day is unique to Jura. The Easter and Whit Mondays are kept, and the weekend is Saturday and Sunday.

Worked example

Adding 1 business days to Wednesday, December 31, 2025 using Jura's holidays lands on Monday, January 5, 2026. With the national Swiss holidays, the same calculation lands on Friday, January 2, 2026: the gap comes from Jura's own calendar.
