Schwyz Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Calculate business days in Schwyz with its own cantonal public holidays. Schwyz 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 Schwyz differs from the national Swiss holidays
Schwyz keeps the national Swiss public holidays and adds the same six Catholic days as its central-Swiss neighbours: Epiphany (6 January), Josefstag (19 March), Fronleichnam, Mariä Himmelfahrt (15 August), Allerheiligen (1 November) and Mariä Empfängnis (8 December). What it does not add are the many Kirchenpatronatsfeste, the parish patron-saint feasts that Schwyz communes celebrate on their own local dates; those are single-commune holidays, not canton-wide, so they stay out of the count. The Easter and Whit Mondays and Stephanstag are kept. The weekend is Saturday and Sunday.
Worked example
Adding 1 business days to Monday, January 5, 2026 using Schwyz's holidays lands on Wednesday, January 7, 2026. With the national Swiss holidays, the same calculation lands on Tuesday, January 6, 2026: the gap comes from Schwyz's own calendar.
