A week belongs to the year that holds its Thursday. Days of a neighbouring year are therefore grey in the first and last row.

Construction holiday (bouwvak)

The dates of the construction holiday (regions north, middle and south) are not shown here. We could not establish them from an official source, and we do not guess. If you know the dates from your collective agreement or employers' organisation, add them as your own days off in the working days calculator.

How week numbers and public holidays work

This page follows ISO 8601. A week starts on Monday. Week 1 is the week with the first Thursday of the year, which is also the week containing 4 January. So 1 January can fall in week 52 or 53 of the previous year, and 31 December can fall in week 1 of the next. A year has 52 or 53 weeks.

The holidays are calculated, not typed in per year. New Year's Day, Liberation Day and the Christmas days have fixed dates. King's Day is 27 April, or 26 April when the 27th is a Sunday. Easter follows a rule for the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March (the computus). Good Friday, Ascension and Whitsun count from Easter: 2 days back, 39 days and 49 days on. Easter Monday and Whit Monday are the Mondays after.

The Dutch Algemene termijnenwet lists as generally recognised holidays: New Year's Day, Easter Monday and Whit Monday, the Christmas days, Ascension Day, King's Day and 5 May, and it treats Good Friday the same way. That law is about calculating deadlines. Whether you are off on such a day depends on what you agreed with your employer, client or collective agreement.

Sources

ISO 8601 and the Easter calculation are rules, not web pages. Our tests check every day from 2020 to 2035 and every year from 1900 to 2100 against a second, independent algorithm.

Frequently asked questions

Which week number belongs to a date?

Find the date in the year overview above: the week number is on the left of the row. The count follows ISO 8601: a week runs Monday to Sunday and week 1 holds the year's first Thursday.

Why is 1 January sometimes week 52 or 53?

A week belongs to the year that holds its Thursday. If 1 January is a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, that day still belongs to the last week of the previous year. That is why 2027 starts with week 53 of 2026.

How is the date of Easter calculated?

With a fixed rule, the computus: Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon on or after 21 March. Ascension (39 days after Easter) and Whitsun (49 days after Easter) follow from it.

Am I off on these days?

This page does not say. It lists the holidays. Whether you are off depends on what you agreed with your employer or client. Good Friday and Liberation Day differ the most.

Why is the construction holiday not shown?

We could not establish the 2026 to 2028 dates from an official source, so we leave them out instead of guessing. In the working days calculator you add them yourself as your own days off.

How do I get the holidays into my calendar?

Use the .ics button. The file is made in your browser and you can import it into Google Calendar, Outlook or your phone's calendar. They are all-day entries that do not block your time.

Is my data stored?

Nothing is typed on this page, so there is nothing to store. We only count anonymously how the page is used (no cookies, no IP address).

Making quotes with your own prices?

Describe the job. Briefbee writes the quote in your words and at your prices; you check it and send it.
