How the days are counted
The calculator goes through every date from the day you count from to the last day of school. It counts a day as a school day when it falls on one of your school days (Monday to Friday unless you change them) and is not inside a day off or break you added. Calendar days are simply the number of days until the last day of school.
The dates you enter stay on this page and are never sent anywhere.
Example
Say you count from Monday, May 4, 2026, the last day of school is Friday, May 29, 2026, and Monday, May 25 is a day off. From May 4 to May 29 there are 20 weekdays, counting both ends. Take away the day off and there are 19 school days left. The last day of school is 25 calendar days away.
Tips for an accurate count
- Use your district's latest calendar. Snow days and other closures can move the last day.
- Add teacher work days, holidays and spring break as days off, or the count will be too high.
- Some schools have early release days. They still count as school days.

Frequently asked questions
How many days of school are left?
It depends on your school calendar. Enter the last day of school from your district calendar, add any days off before it, and the calculator counts the school days left from today. It counts Monday to Friday unless you change the school days.
Does the count include today and the last day?
Yes, by default both today and the last day of school are counted, because you still go to school on those days. Untick "Count today" if school is already over for the day.
How do I add holidays and breaks?
Add each day off or break with a start and end date. A single day off has the same start and end date. Only weekdays inside those dates are taken away from the count.
Where do I find the last day of school?
Your school district publishes it on its yearly calendar, usually on the district website. Dates are different for every district and can change after snow days or other closures, so check the latest calendar.
