Frequently asked questions
How many working days until I retire?
Enter your last day of work. The page counts Monday to Friday from tomorrow up to and including that day, and gives a second figure with US federal holidays left out. Vacation and other days off are yours to subtract.
Which holidays are left out?
The eleven US federal holidays. When one falls on a Saturday the Friday before is left out, and when it falls on a Sunday, the Monday after, which is how federal offices observe them.
Can I put the countdown on my phone or share it?
The link in the address bar carries your date, so you can bookmark it, add it to your home screen or send it to someone. You can also add the date to your calendar or download an image.
