How Many Trading Days

The number at the top is how many U.S. stock market trading days are left in the current year, updated live. It counts every weekday from today through December 31, leaves out weekends and full-day NYSE/Nasdaq holidays, and counts scheduled early-close sessions (1:00 p.m. ET closes) as half a day. Today is included until the market closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time; after that it drops out of the count. The full-day and half-day totals beneath the number show how that count breaks down.

We follow the standard NYSE/Nasdaq holiday schedule: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. When these fall on a weekend, an observed weekday holiday is used instead. The list above shows the holidays still ahead this year.

Yes, beyond the scheduled holiday calendar, U.S. markets have closed 11 times since 1990 for emergencies and national days of mourning: four days after the September 11 attacks, two days for Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and single days honoring Presidents Nixon, Reagan, Ford, George H. W. Bush, and Carter. Our historical counts account for all of them.

Scheduled early-close sessions (such as the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve in some years, or the day before Independence Day) end at 1:00 p.m. ET and are counted as 0.5 trading days. That's why the counter sometimes ends in .5: at least one remaining session is an early close.

If today is a weekday and U.S. markets are open, we count it as a trading day until 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (the normal close). After 4:00 p.m. ET, today is treated as finished and no longer included in the remaining-days count. If today is a weekend or full-day market holiday, it is not counted.

This site is based on regular-session hours for the major U.S. equity exchanges (such as NYSE and Nasdaq) and uses U.S. Eastern Time. It does not track extended hours, futures markets, or cryptocurrencies.

The earnings calendar covers every NYSE and Nasdaq company that files quarterly reports with the SEC. Each date starts as an estimate from the company's own filing history (how many days after each quarter ended it reported in past years) and switches to confirmed when the company announces the date in a press release or on its investor relations site. Every company page shows the countdown in trading days and the past report dates behind the estimate.
