See the whole year

At Aeternum OÜ, we develop Arvutused.ee around everyday questions. Here is a particularly welcome one: when is the next holiday, and how many consecutive days off can we look forward to? We have added a dedicated Estonian holidays and days off section to help answer it.

It combines a twelve-month calendar, an event list and yearly and monthly totals. Check the next holiday or start planning for 2027 without counting calendar squares by hand.

1. Choose a year and a view

The current selection covers 2026–2031: this year and the next five. Each year has its own button, and the range moves forward over time. Choose the twelve mini-calendars for an overview, or switch to the list to read events in date order.

Public holidays appear in red and shortened working days in yellow, with ordinary weekends distinguished against a quieter background. An optional switch adds national observances in green when you want more detail.

2. Open a date and look ahead

Select a date to see its events. This also makes overlapping occasions easier to understand. The current day follows Tallinn time, providing a clear reference while you browse.

The calendar shows the next public holiday and the number of days remaining. It also identifies long weekends: at least three consecutive days off under a Monday-to-Friday schedule. These periods do not include any automatically added annual leave.

3. Compare the months

Yearly and monthly totals show working days and days off, helping you review dates before planning a trip, family gathering or working month. A Saturday that is also a public holiday counts once in the total days off.

These figures assume a Monday-to-Friday working week. A shift worker’s actual schedule may differ: a calendar marker alone does not establish whether a particular person is scheduled to work.

4. Keep the calendar handy

Print the calendar or download an ICS file for import into a compatible application such as Outlook. The all-day events do not mark your time as busy. The imported file is a saved copy, rather than an automatically updating subscription.

The section is available in Estonian, Russian, English and Ukrainian, works on mobile screens, and supports the site’s light and dark themes across three colour palettes.

A few useful distinctions

An observance does not create an additional day off. A holiday falling on Saturday or Sunday is not automatically moved to Monday. Shortening a working day applies on specified dates before holidays when work is scheduled on that date.

Future years use verified rules currently in force; changes in legislation may change the calendar. Open a year and start with your next plans.
