St. Gallen Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Calculate business days in St. Gallen with its own cantonal public holidays. St. Gallen 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 St. Gallen differs from the national Swiss holidays
St. Gallen is a confessionally mixed canton, but the one Catholic day it keeps across the whole canton is Allerheiligen (All Saints' Day) on 1 November, which it adds to the national Swiss set. All eight national days, including Stephanstag and Easter and Whit Monday, are observed canton-wide. Days kept only in parts of other cantons, such as Fronleichnam, Mariä Himmelfahrt and Mariä Empfängnis, are not St. Gallen holidays at all. In 2026 Allerheiligen falls on a Sunday, so the canton-wide working-day count matches the national one that year; in 2027 it falls on a Monday and the count is one day lower.
Worked example
Adding 2 business days to Friday, October 30, 2026 using St. Gallen's holidays lands on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
