How many days until month-end close?
Finance, payroll and reporting deadlines almost never fall on the last day of the month. They fall on the last working day, which moves every month.
What is coming up
Every date we track that falls inside your window β so a birthday, a bank holiday or a deadline never arrives as a surprise.
Free to use β Pro is for keeping it
This tool, like every other one here, is free and needs no account. A free account keeps three setups and three email alerts. Pro takes the ads off every site we run and lifts that to 200 setups and 50 alerts, adds a public page for any result and lets you embed the tool without our badge.

How this works
Where the last working day falls
It varies by up to two days depending on how the month ends.
| Month ends on | Last working day | Days earlier than month end |
|---|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | That same day | 0 |
| Saturday | The Friday before | 1 |
| Sunday | The Friday before | 2 |
Public holidays are not included: they differ by country and often by region.
Frequently asked questions
Is the last working day always a Friday?
No. It is whichever of Monday to Friday comes last in the month β often a Wednesday or Thursday.
Can I use it for the first working day instead?
Set the cycle to monthly and pick the 1st as your reference date, with weekend shifting on.
