Zug Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: October 8, 2026
Calculate business days in Zug 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 Zug differs from the Switzerland calculator
Zug's law on rest days and shop opening (BGS 942.31, § 1) lists Neujahr, Karfreitag, Auffahrt, Fronleichnam, the Bundesfeiertag, Maria Himmelfahrt, Allerheiligen, Maria Empfängnis and Weihnachten as public rest days. Easter Monday, Whit Monday and 26 December are not in the law, so this page counts them as working days. Against this site's eight-day Swiss baseline that adds four days and drops three. Maria Himmelfahrt falls on a Saturday in 2026 and a Sunday in 2027, and Allerheiligen on a Sunday in 2026, so those dates close no weekday.
Worked example
Adding 1 business day to Wednesday, June 3, 2026 using Zug's holidays lands on Friday, June 5, 2026. With the Switzerland calculator's holidays, the same calculation lands on Thursday, June 4, 2026: the gap comes from Zug's own calendar.

How to count Zug business days
For an interactive calculation, use the Switzerland calculator and add Zug's own dates under Advanced options, one per line in YYYY-MM-DD form; the Zug public holidays 2026 page linked below lists the dates. The Advanced options can add dates but not remove them, so a count that crosses Ostermontag (Easter Monday) (Monday, April 6, 2026) and Pfingstmontag (Whit Monday) (Monday, May 25, 2026), days in the Switzerland calculator's set but not in Zug's calendar, will land one working day later than Zug's own for each of those dates it crosses.
