South Australia Working Days Calculator – Business Days Between Dates

Count South Australian working days between two dates, or move a date by a number of business days. Saturdays, Sundays and statewide SA public holidays from the 2026 and 2027 official lists are omitted.

General information only. This SA page applies published public holiday dates to calendar maths. It is not legal, employment or financial product advice. Check the official South Australia list and your award or agreement. That matches ASIC’s general-information approach.
Date range: This calculator only covers dates in years that have official public holiday data on this site (currently 2026 and 2027). Dates outside that window are rejected because weekend-only maths would miss gazetted holidays. See the dated list onSA public holidays.

Holiday settings

These results use South Australia public holidays. Other states have their own pages.

      South Australian weekdays that are not working days

      South Australia observes Adelaide Cup Day in March and Proclamation Day at the end of December (with a substitute weekday when that day falls on a weekend). Labour Day and the King’s Birthday holiday are statewide weekdays and are skipped.

      Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve are part-day holidays from the evening. They remain working days in the default count. Turn on the part-day option only if your workplace treats those dates as a full day off.

      The working-day span includes both ends when those dates are working days. Adding business days starts after the from date. Results cannot leave 2026-01-01 to2027-12-31.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a SA business day on this page?

      A South Australia business day is a weekday that is not a statewide SA public holiday in the official 2026 and 2027 lists. Weekends are never counted. Regional or limited observances stay in the total unless you include them.

      Where do the SA holiday dates come from?

      They are the same official dates shown on the SA public holidays pages. This calculator does not keep a second copy of those lists. The government source is South Australia.

      Can I enter dates outside 2026 and 2027?

      This calculator only covers dates in years that have official public holiday data on this site (currently 2026 and 2027). Dates outside that window are rejected because weekend-only maths would miss gazetted holidays.

      Is Proclamation Day the same as Boxing Day in South Australia?

      South Australia lists Proclamation Day on 26 December, with an extra weekday when that date falls on a weekend. This calculator skips those listed statewide days. It does not invent a separate Boxing Day entry beyond what the SA source list contains.

      Are Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve full SA public holidays here?

      No, not by default. The official notes describe evening part-day holidays. Leave the part-day option off if staff still work those dates during ordinary hours.

      Is the SA result legal or employment advice?

      No. The figure is general information for planning. It is not an interpretation of an award, not a Fair Work decision, and not financial product advice. ASIC’s general-information standard applies: confirm the gazette and your own workplace rules before you rely on a date.
