Your numbers
How we calculate it
The countdown is the number of days from the date you count from (today by default) to the next Labor Day. If the date has already passed this year, it points to next year.
Labor Day falls on the first Monday of September. The calculator works the date out from that rule for each year, so it stays right as the years change.
Dates of Labor Day for the next five years: Monday, September 7, 2026; Monday, September 6, 2027; Monday, September 4, 2028; Monday, September 3, 2029; Monday, September 2, 2030.
Assumptions and limits
- The countdown is in whole days, from midnight to midnight, not to the hour.
- Labor Day is a U.S. federal holiday and, because it is set as the first Monday of September, it always falls on a Monday (5 U.S.C. 6103).
- Change the "Count from" date to count from any other day, or switch the event to your own date.
