St. Gallen Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: October 8, 2026
Calculate business days in St. Gallen with its own cantonal public holidays. Like the Switzerland calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list, so due dates and deadlines can land differently from the Switzerland calculator's count.
How St. Gallen differs from the Switzerland calculator
St. Gallen's rows add one day to this site's eight-day Swiss baseline: Allerheiligen (All Saints' Day) on 1 November. No baseline day is dropped, so Stephanstag, Easter Monday and Whit Monday stay in the count. Allerheiligen falls on a Sunday in 2026, a Monday in 2027 and a Wednesday in 2028, so it closes a weekday only in 2027 and 2028.
Worked example
Adding 2 business days to Friday, October 30, 2026 using St. Gallen's holidays lands on Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
