United Kingdom Bank and National Holidays 2026 and 2027

View the FREE United Kingdom bank holiday baseline used by CalculateMyShift for working-day, annual leave, notice, and deadline calculations.

Advice for this situation

This UK view uses a country-level bank holiday baseline so deadline, notice, and leave calculations can skip the same public dates consistently.

Bank holiday treatment can still vary by contract and by whether you work England and Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland patterns.

Bookmark this page if you regularly count working days, annual leave, or notice windows. It shows the bank holiday baseline behind the app, which makes holiday-aware results easier to understand and reuse.

The calculators do not replace contract wording, HR policy, or local advice, but they do make the first pass much faster. That is especially helpful when you need a reliable working-day answer before you write an email, plan cover, or confirm a finish date.
