Count 2029 working days in Excel or Google Sheets
List the 11 observed holiday dates in cells H2 to H12, then this formula gives the same 250:
=NETWORKDAYS(DATE(2029,1,1),DATE(2029,12,31),H2:H12)
NETWORKDAYS counts both the start and end date and skips Saturdays and Sundays. If your weekend falls on other days, NETWORKDAYS.INTL takes a weekend code, for example 7 for Friday and Saturday. For one month, swap in its first and last day; August 2029 gives 23.
Working days per month and per fiscal year
Spread over 12 months, 2029's 250 working days come to 20.83 a month, but the real months run from 19 to 23. The US federal fiscal year 2029 starts on Sunday, October 1, 2028 and ends on Sunday, September 30, 2029, and it has 249 working days after federal holidays (1,992 hours).
The 2,080-hour year and the real count
Payroll often uses a standard 2,080-hour year (52 weeks Ă— 40 hours) to turn a salary into an hourly rate. The weekdays of 2029 add up to 2,088 hours and 2,000 after federal holidays. A $52,000 salary is $25.00 an hour over 2,080 hours, or $26.00 over the 2,000 hours actually worked.
