Leave planning in Austria

What actually matters for bridge days

The calculator distinguishes statutory holidays from regional commemorative and patron days and recalculates every planning year.

13 holidays under the Rest Periods Act

Section 7(2) ARG lists the statutory holidays for employees. These 13 dates are the basis of the calculation.

The return changes every year

Fixed holidays move through the week and movable holidays follow Easter. Each year from 2026 to 2035 is therefore calculated separately.

Check rosters and collective agreements

The calculator assumes a Monday-to-Friday week. For shift work and contractual or workplace-specific rules, the actual roster remains decisive.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Austrian bridge days

What is a Fenstertag or Zwickeltag?
It is a working day between a public holiday and a weekend. Taking that day as leave can create a longer continuous break.
How many statutory holidays are there in Austria?
Section 7(2) of the Rest Periods Act lists 13 statutory holidays for employees. The calculator uses exactly these dates.
Why can I still select a federal state?
The selection gives the shared plan regional context. The 13 statutory ARG holidays are nevertheless the same in all nine states.
Are state patron days automatically days off?
No. They are not generally additional statutory holidays for employees. Collective agreements, schools or workplace policies may provide different rules and must be checked separately.
Which years does the calculator cover?
It covers 2026 to 2035. Fixed and movable holidays are recalculated for every year; later legal changes may affect the results.
Does the calculator work for shift workers?
The suggestions assume a Monday-to-Friday week. For shift and weekend work, the actual benefit depends on the individual roster.
Is the Austrian calculator free?
Yes. The year, state, budget, calendar and recommendations work for free in the browser without registration.
Can I share my bridge-day plan?
Yes. You can share the selected period by link, copy it or print it, then transfer it to the free leave-planner template.
