State holidays and company days off
Enter a state code such as NY or TX in the region box to include that state's public holidays as well. Days many companies close that are not federal holidays, such as the day after Thanksgiving or Christmas Eve, are not included by default; add them in the company holidays box.

The same calculation is available as a JSON API, so you can run it inside an accounting, ERP or workflow system. Get a free API key (1,000 requests a month) or read the OpenAPI spec.
Holiday data comes from an open-source dataset and may be incomplete, especially for regional, ad-hoc or newly declared holidays. Check legally or financially critical deadlines against an official source.
