Working Days Until Retirement
The calendar says one number. Your working life says another. This counter shows the weekdays — the days you'll actually be working — until your retirement date.

How the count works
The work-days number counts every Monday-to-Friday between tomorrow and your retirement date, inclusive. It does not subtract public holidays or vacation days, because those vary by country, employer and how aggressively you've been banking leave. For your true remaining number:
| Your situation | What to do |
|---|---|
| Public holidays | Subtract roughly 10–12 per year (US average) |
| Vacation days left | Subtract your remaining balance |
| Part-time or compressed weeks | Scale the number to your schedule |
Why the work-days number feels better
Calendar days include the weekends you'd have off anyway. When retirees-to-be switch to counting work days, the number drops by about 30% — and so does the dread. A year left becomes roughly 250 work days. Five years becomes about 1,250. Suddenly it's a countable thing, not a sentence.
Planning the run-in
Knowing your work-day count lets you plan backwards: handover documents, training your replacement, the projects worth finishing versus the ones worth handing over politely. Many people also track remaining paychecks — the number that shapes final savings decisions.
