About this calculator
Eleven US federal holidays. Some are fixed (Christmas, July 4); others are computed by rule (Thanksgiving = 4th Thursday of November, Memorial Day = last Monday of May). Federal employees get all 11 as paid days off; private-sector observance varies.
Frequently asked
4th Thursday of November (changed from "last Thursday" by Congress in 1941 because some years have 5 Thursdays).
