Zug Business Day Calculator
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Calculate business days in Zug with its own cantonal public holidays. Zug 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 Zug differs from the national Swiss holidays
Zug is a historically Catholic canton and adds four days to the national Swiss set across the whole canton: Fronleichnam (Corpus Christi), Mariä Himmelfahrt on 15 August, Allerheiligen on 1 November and Mariä Empfängnis on 8 December. Two days often listed for Zug are left out: Berchtoldstag (2 January) is widely quiet but not a recognised cantonal holiday, and Josefstag (19 March) is kept only in some communes. Both are explained here rather than counted. The Easter and Whit Mondays and Stephanstag are kept, and the weekend is Saturday and Sunday.
Worked example
Adding 1 business days to Wednesday, June 3, 2026 using Zug's holidays lands on Friday, June 5, 2026. With the national Swiss holidays, the same calculation lands on Thursday, June 4, 2026: the gap comes from Zug's own calendar.
