Scope and sources
Select a region: the three lists differ. Scotland omits Easter Monday and uses an earlier August bank holiday. Northern Ireland adds St Patrick’s Day and the Battle of the Boyne. Weekend holidays can produce substitute weekdays; the table labels them. Bank holidays do not automatically mean paid leave.

What the calculator includes
The site stores published dates for 2019–2028, including one-off additions in those years. Other years use recurring rules and are labelled projections. The list is bundled with the site, not fetched live. Local closures, school holidays and employer arrangements are outside this dataset.
