How working days are calculated
We count every date from today to 31 December, including both. Each date goes into exactly one bucket: a weekend day, a public holiday that falls on a weekday, or a working day. That way no date is ever subtracted twice.
Working hours are simply working days × hours per day. Use the 7.6h selector above to match your contract.
Public holidays rules
Public holidays in Australia are set by each state and territory. A few, like Christmas Day and Good Friday, fall on the same day everywhere; others, like the King's Birthday and Labour Day, fall on different dates in each state. The national view counts only the holidays every state shares, so choose your state or territory for your real figure.
When a holiday falls on a weekend, most states add a substitute or additional weekday, and we count that weekday. Part-day holidays (such as Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve evenings in some states) aren't counted, and holidays that only apply to part of a state, like the Royal Queensland Show, are listed but not counted.

Frequently asked questions
How many working days are left this year in Western Australia?
There are 66 working days left in 2026 in Western Australia, counting from today (Saturday, 26 September 2026) to 31 December inclusive. That is 97 days in total, minus 28 weekend days and 3 public holidays falling on weekdays.
Are public holidays included in working days?
No. Any public holiday that falls on a weekday is removed from the working days total. A holiday on a Saturday or Sunday is already a weekend day, so it isn't subtracted again; where the rules give a substitute weekday, that weekday is removed instead.
Are Saturdays and Sundays working days?
No. The calculator uses a Monday–Friday working week for Australia, so Saturdays and Sundays are counted as weekend days. If you work weekends or shifts, your own total will differ.
How are working hours calculated?
Working hours = working days × hours per day. At 7.6 hours a day that is 501.6 hours. Change the hours-per-day setting above to match your contract.
Are public holidays the same in every Australian state?
No. Each state and territory sets its own public holidays, so the King's Birthday, Labour Day and local days like Melbourne Cup Day or Western Australia Day fall on different dates or only in some states. Choose your state or territory above for figures that match where you work.
Which date counts as "today"?
Today is the current date in Western Australia (Australia/Perth time), not your device's date, so the figures change at local midnight there. Today is included in the count, but only as a working day if it is one.
