1. What is the Working Days to Retirement Calculator?

The Working Days to Retirement calculator estimates how many actual workdays you have left until your planned retirement date, accounting for weekends, holidays, and vacation days.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

Where:

• Total Workdays — Calculated from total days between today and retirement date multiplied by workdays per week
• Holidays — Estimated based on holidays per year

Details: Knowing your remaining workdays can help with financial planning, career transition planning, and psychological preparation for retirement.

4. Using the Calculator
